I was going to scratch the decals, before I got high. [Oooo Ooo Oo]
I was going to add toe straps, but then I got high,
Now I can't stop fast and I know why, [Why man? Ooo Ooo]
'Cause I got high, cause I got high, cause I got hiiiigh
Second/third lines don't apply to you, streetdude. Bike looks sick.
Urly bike is urly.

It's custom. He'll make whatever geometry you want. Mine is 74/74 with more or less the tube measurements of a 57cm kilo though. (I wasnt' too picky about it)

Thanks you. Yeah, I've become fond of fat tires, too. When I went to my LBS to get help putting the final touches on the Jury, I hopped on an old Specialized Allez with 700x23c tires. It was fun to zip around on, but the thin tires made me nervous. I know that's not grounded/rational; it just felt wrong.
At first, I had some Vittoria 32s on the Jury. The frame's clearance made them look puny. I hadn't ridden them since the bike was still without a crankset, so my LBS was fine exchanging them for those Ryders.
At some point, I'm sure I'll get/build a tarck FG with 23s. Nah, 25s. Ah, who am I kidding. I'll probably want 28s.

Yeah, I've got a geared bike with 23c tubulars, and it's fun for fast rides....but for everyday I'll take fatties.

Giant Bowery with new flat black/gloss red paint job. Changed the drop downs and the brake levers. Took of the SS hub. Replaced the chain and tire.
