Thanks for the sincere welcome
I appreciate your warm comments. I'm sure once I am able to upload pictures and explain the various mods I fashioned everyone will love it. St Simons Island is a great place for bicycles, with bike trails everywhere and so many riding bikes. I actually used to work for a ski/bike shop and cared little about anything but skiing. I built this to ride around the island but mostly cruise to the village/pier area from my house. The looks I have gotten lately on the bike are priceless!
