You are riding a hardtail breaks are not bad?
I like pulling in gas station also and you will too see the heads turn and people looking at your chop. She will be a real head turner!
Thank's Nate. Yours is coming along great also.

SELF INTRODUCTION: I was on the last board as bonustoolkit. I have changed that to my given name.
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.
