Nice!  Did you paint the frame?  If so, how?  Where did you get the wheels?

Slick looking bike!
What frame is that?

What's the rest of the build?

Velocity wheels?

Why a rear brake?

nice spec.

Front brake = good (I live in the Blue Ridge Mnts.)
Rear Brake = not as much...that's what legs are for

Have fun with it. Here's mine:

I, for one, applaud your decision to use front and rear brakes. All that "brakes ruin the zen of the bike" business? Buncha hooey. Personally, I'd rather be able to stop. Nice looking build!
