A simple

beater project from Canada:

I started rolling my eyes at about where he describes having to plan and manufacture custom disk mounts for wheels... which required building custom forks as well, no biggie for him apparently.

One thing's for sure: the bike is one of its kind.

That's a sweet ride.

Obviously, he works in a machine shop.
He should be designing bikes.
I'd say he missed his calling.

The only question I have is how much does it WEIGH? It looks pretty darn heavy... although he used a lot of aluminum and titanium, so maybe not.

He did well. It's a pretty bike.
