I am a really big car and bike guy. And everything he makes is like a toy. Completely unusable as a bike. Defetes the purpose

I don't like most of the bike builders on tv, they arn't really doing anything special. They don't build a bike they customize it. Most are not ridable. It's sad.

I'm not rocking a 26in wheel on the front. I might go to a 21 but that'll be much later. I wanna get this thing comfy for her first then start worring about asthetics that won't detract from the comfort level and maybe even add functionality. That's how I try to build bikes.

Looking cool and being an asspain to ride don't have to coincide.

Ever since that build off I've refered to him as a douche canoe.....its meaning not 100% clear, It just flows off the tongue so elegantly.
