Badfish,
All I said was your missing out on the best part of a build...building it yourself and you chose to call me stupid. I have a vintage car and bike and go to a lot of events during the summer and talk to lots of people. I run across guys like you all the time, they brag about their car or bike and can tell you every detail about it. When you really start questioning them, you find out they never turned a wrench. I have no respect for these people at all. The guy whose bike is maybe not perfect but did all the work himself get's my utmost respect. Anybody with money can build your exact bike, no skills required. Just so you don't feel alone, all my projects got put on hold awhile back as my wife battled breast cancer. With surgery,chemo, and radiation it took the better part of a year to get her better. There are more important things than cars and bikes, they can wait. By the way YOUR BUILDER did a great job on the bike.
