Ya know, for an April Fool's joke, I'm VERY disappointed in everyone for total lack of righteous indignation -- I was expecting pitchforks, lighted torches, and a bubbling tar barrel! I wanted to build this bike as outlandish as possible while making it somewhat plausible (as in, a friend offered a pink deep v front wheel and a neon yellow saddle, but I didn't want to come off as color blind...)
Frame was fun to ride in that state -- extremely comfortable and mellow feeling -- even though I only took it about 4mi round trip in order to get photos. It's been re-hung on my wall and the borrowed parts returned...
Hope everyone enjoyed, regardless...
