Nice! Came out well! I am so down with that stem/bar combo.
edit: nice to see you ended up with the black spokes silver nipples. I can't believe you got all that done in one day. Crazy! What did you do about that wierd fork width? |

That makes me absurdly happy. You go teach.

Ok, I did the flat black base, and told them what to wrench and how to do it. And I had to help most of them hold the wrench. But they did do the colors and most of the wrenching. And the bike was built entirely in my classroom. |
Took this pic yesterday on a ride in SF. First nice non-rainy day in weeks.
