i also have a 26" wheel in the front and my bike rides great long or short rides, as ffor the ones who hate just cant afford it so thats all they can do is hate, just my 2 cents,
....Easy fella
as for the guys that comment on how you couldn't tour across the counrty on it... i don't think the guy that built it really cares.. It a custom..not a touring bike....sure it started as a touring bike, but do you think touring was really the guys priority when he cut the neck off?
ever seen a 57 Chevy with no hood, tubbed rear and a big block with a blower and dual quads sticking up to the roof line? That car started as a gentleman's sedan..... you think thats what the current owner wants from it?
as for the bike....my only comments woulld be that the black wiring harness sticks out like a sore thumb against that s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d out neck on the orange frame...
oh and i suspect, although i 'm not sure if i saw it, but i suspect it has a stock rear wheel on it....
all to common latley...$50,000 custom with a stock wheel, really?

Get over your self, just cus someone dont like 26 in wheels dont make them a hater
With all the work put into the bike I wonder why they didn't shave off the unused front brake caliper mount? Another couple things were the stock levers and kick stand....yeah I know it's nit-picking...but isn't that what you do when looking at a custom creation.
Well this is my first custom I built. Why did I leave the stock rear? Because I'm not gonna waste my money on a wheel no one can see. I sold this bike for 23k, it doesn't have the best of everything, I made do with what I had. Next one I will shave the fork and run the harness in the frame. I could jump on this bike and trek 4000 miles but don't get me wrong, I doubt is even do that on a stock bike. Lol.
