I started a project build there " File and Fit." I paln to continue that when I go back home in Dec. 2011. I first joined the board when Gary W had it in the year 2005. That was the time I really gained an interest in building chops. I have a long way to go, compared to some here.

SELF INTRODUCTION: Hi Dan, thanks for your time and energy spent on this new board. I hope you will give me a waiver on the email account, I have used gmail so long I don't have a clue what my service provider account is.
I just returned home from a 2 week trip in New Mexico, have a few good pix, can't wait to share my off-highway traveling. Got to put 1400 miles on the scoot.

Went to Bike Week once, not interested in another.
Too many people, too many crazy riders, too many accidents, too many freaks looking for trouble.
Very nice area tho, I'll trade you some -45F weather and throw in some boot to change places...

So I went to a bike shop in Ormond Beach today, and saw a discontinued "Legend " frame. 38 deg., 4" backbone stretch, 6" downtube , RSD. Not really the style I like but $599. Includes stretched tank, internal strut fender , top M/M., Swingarm style.

Shipping will be abt $300. To Seattle. Then I will have to pick it up cross border abt 2 months from now.
I dunno. :confusion-shrug:

Tempting, aint it..

You could buy it, build it, and then try to sell it in a bad market to a limited customer base. Or ride it anyway.

I guess it's all about the experience for now. I haven't built a complete bike yet, so whatever the outcome, this frame or mine, its a go.

If I can help, let me know....there are a lot of ways to drop shipping cost...there is a UPS office about a 1/8th of a mile away... i could come down and get the frame and then see what the minimum of packing needed and i could ship when you are at home and ready for it !

Yeah, I'm pleased we did meet. This is something I'm going to try more of. I'm going to Texas in 11/2 weeks . Maybe I can hook up with Rudog.

What do you think of this..
