        Know what it feels like.  I bust my finger careering down Kirk Fell in the Lake District a few years ago, that was before I realised I could use the bracken to slow me down.

          Are you avoiding the leg shaving question ?

                      richochet – I'm seriously impressed that you made that bike, dude. You're very talented ! Check this article out :
                      http://www.velvetparkmedia.com/blogs/chicks-bikes-and-brooklyn-woman-owned-bike-shop-changing-neighborhood

                      I admire KT Higgins. As I've mentioned before, I'm a total numbskull when it comes to mechanical inclination. That's why I write code for a living. Logical/Analytical mind, YES. But there's a certain high intelligence associated with building things, fixing things with your bare hands – and I lack that kind of IQ.

                        That is a sweet build!  I'm just about to do the same thing with a frame I found on ebay.  This time, being only my second, I'll be documenting/photo-ing my progress.  I'm gonna do up a utility bike using an early 80's Univega Vivia Touring frame.  😉

                                          Looking to purchase a bicycle in NY. New or Used Single Speed. Would like to spend anywhere from $200-$400. Anyone got a hook or know of a good shop? Also, any ideas of a good brand or model that may fit the bill so I can narrow down my search? Thanks!
