So this is the hotness. Having an awkward body (long torso), I wanted a bike that truly fit me and this bike does exactly that. I got to try my hand at brazing at the Sevoian shop, but Jesse made it all come together. I tried to be as hands on as possible with the project and couldn't be happier with the result. Everything was powdercoated orange with a metallic red flake in-shop.
