What should I call my bike?

Bob is good, but if the wife asks what you want to do this weekend and you say "I'm going to ride Bob" things might get a little uneasy. Mike on the other hand would be clearly better.

demographic:
Hmm, good point.

That sentence does come out sounding a bit "Brokeback Mountain" doesn't it.

AJ:
metalman

in the process?

 not messing with you at all.
as you caught far too much grief on TT already ,when you posted
the pics, ....
but I did think you had the bike done , and been riding it.

i thought it was pretty cool,
 by the way.

AJ, I know I caught alot of grief but it was good. when I posted those pics, it was just when I got the bike running and put together, I still had to work out alot of bugs. After I took those pics, I tore it all apart and I am putting it all together correcly, tuning it, and making it look pretty.  As for the frame, I went and put a 1/8 inch plate all around the modified downtube which was suggested by someone I know, and then took it to get it treated to release stresses in the frame from the welding, and then I powdercoated it myself. 

And on an iteresting note, when I originally cut the frame, there was alot of stress in it, the downtube moved about a half an inch from center.  Anyways here is a pic of how it sits right now :-)


   

AJ:
very cool!

thanks for the new photos,
its looking sweet!

i'd like to see more as you get it completed to!
