Wow, there are a lot of ncsu students that post around here. I like Raleigh a lot better than Charlotte (hometown) for riding, seems like less traffic.
By the way, the seatpost will soon be replaced...you cant see it in the pictures but its pretty rusted at the top. The stem was cheap, I thought the grey finish would look better, but Im not crazy about it now that the bike is built. It works though...so for now Ill probably just leave it.

nice conversion. i don't go to state, but i live in winston-salem and went to school in charlotte for a little while.
in my limited experience, charlotte sucks for riding, especially the university area. downtown is fun to ride around though. word on the street is that charlotte's population has now surpassed atlanta's. with all of the sprawl down there, i wouldn't be surprised if it was true.
anyway, i'm glad to see the north carolinians coming out of the woodwork on here.
p.s. - hey chris, it's jesse.
