After 3 months I’ve finally finished building my bike. It was fun to take on building a bike as a design project, and was a nice break from working on the computer. There are still things I would like to switch up, but for now I am really quite happy with it. It rides amazingly and the coaster brake is even more fun than I had anticipated. Here are some pictures I took today, specs after the jump. Click the images to see them bigger, or click here to comment on my flickr set.
