Not that impressive, but keep in mind I just threw it together for 130, 150 if you count the paintjob. Also I love the "flat" black, as opposed to glossy, but it means no clear coat so I'm screwed. Gonna be riding this on a college campus so I set the gain ratio at 5.5, kinda low but should work out well. Kept the cottered crank, because I wanted to do this conversion for as cheap as possible; besides after a nice polish, it looked pretty spiffy. Comment and such, this is the first bike I've made, be kind and constructive please!
