This was my first attempt at ever "building" a bike. Most of the parts are stock, so it's really just a road conversion. I bought and completed it the fall of 2008 and realized very quickly that it was much too large (I'm 5'5"). After this monster, I began researching and buying proper tools and better sized frames.
This is where my love for bikes all started, and it's currently ridden on a daily basis by my close friend and house mate.
