Awesome. Can you post it here?

http://www.thechainlink.org/group/bikebuilders/forum/topics/bike-bu...

I think it would be neater to be able to scan through a lot of different builds in one place, and not have it all get lost on one big main page.....to that end, will you post more pictures of this one in that section too?

I am geeked to post some more builds soon. I put one up there already....Studs. More coming.....Cheers! - lee

Thanks Lee!
This was a great way to get back to building bikes again. Not a lot of profit on this since most is for friends who just bring me the materials and I take care of the rest but is great way to learn how to fix/build bikes.
Next I will post a Raleigh Record I just converted to a single speed since most of the other parts were useless but the frame was in excellent condition.

Nice Hector! This group is going to be lots of fun. I especially like the view from the non-drive side with the yellow and black inside of the chainring, plus the panographed crank. sweetness. Nice work!

I will be the first to post my last bike build for a friend.
Fuji frame. stripped all the paint and found the fork was a nice chrome finish. Painted bike black with yellow tones on the lugs.
sugino cranks, Origin 8 chainring, surly cog and lock ring, wienmann deep v's and Miche bottom bracket.
Here's a couple of pictures
