Marshall Ferguson:
This is definitely the best looking hobbit top tank conversion I've seen.
SlowBikeFast:
Having ridden this bike I would say it's almost too smooth. Have you tried making it crappy?
WillD:
glad to see this turn out
WillD:
yea it looks like a decent start. dunno if the shocks need to be shorter or the forks longer or if it's just me
Tyler Brekke:
