Notes:

The Saddle is cut and tied in a way reminiscent of the Swallow with flaps left in the sides, then folded under and laced together corset style. I built this bike up over the winter, and these pictures were taken on it's maiden voyage. A bit more adjustment is in order for the seat and bars, but overall, it's a very solid ride, and came out just as I'd intended.

The Taylors are great! Stiff as hell and comfy shape.
