I've put the 44 tooth aluminum on backwards for better overall clearance. Might even get a reverse gear as an extra! The #18 Torringtons are sweet.
22 teeth in the back give me hill climbing abilities to maybe keep up with @tripple3.
Your mechanical and fabrication skills are wonderful. I really like what you've built every time; this bike is awesome.
You jest about keeping up with me running 44/22 but I know you love to spin.
Your riding skills are new goals for me; thanks for helping me.
Those #18s are super-sweet.

Enjoyin' the ride.

Easy now, Mark. We've got many skilled people on board. Craftsmen, artists, and iron men in both senses of the word. And let's not forget those with a knowledge base unparalleled. I'm happy to just be playing in the sandbox.
 
I've had a little break as of late. I'm getting going again, and have bead blasted the frame and fork. The raw steel was then torched with a Mapp torch to burn out any moisture, and there were gallons of it! The next stop was a nice dusting of etching primer. I can now address any needed work without worry of further rust.

I'll file a bit more to shape.

After these clean-up steps, out comes the black and gray primers to prepare for a paint job that @WetDogGraphix would be happy with!
Has anyone got the correct badge for this beast?
