Vince,

Sorry if I got your shorts in a bunch ... I can stir stuff up now and
then, but lately, have been trying not to... just not enough time in the
world.

More info ...

I will be riding the #1.
There will be 15 more made (on this run).
It will be a stock/production type bike, but will be hand made.
It will be built by Ground Up Designs for FGF.
Three sizes will be offered on the 1st run.
Aluminum, w/custom replacable drop-outs.
Comes in any color you want as long as it's BLACK ;-)
This will make you guys happy... steel for and no accomdations for brakes ;-)
