Both my parents gave me lots of love, a Christmas long ago they gave me an erector set.
I appreciate what they did for me more today then when I was young.

Man, there's a lot of new pieces on that frame...! Nice work. What kind of fixtures are you using to keep everything in alignment?

Very cool! Heck of a task you undertook there.

The Erector Set was my favorite toy as a kid. I still have mine and my Dad's from the 1930's.

Dad-gum... Not bad for a Home (re)bilt frame. Looks like you were pretty good with that Erector Set. Yes Sir, I had one too and Lincoln Logs.

After you do a bike from the Frame to the Paint you get a different appreciation for people who Build and Ride old bikes (and less appreciation for people who ride Brand New Scoots). In the shower yesterday I had a though... Am I going to ride my RoadGlide anymore? Maybe I don't need it.

Wow, just looked through the race frame site, nice pieces, but unless the exchange rate is 3 to 1 in our favor they are way too expensive for me. Very nice though!
