This pic is about 4 weeks ago, so I've got some more done since then. Right now I'm trying to finish up the wiring and then start it and tune (hopefully haha).

Do I qualify?

Had a shop do the hardtail and single down tube but I did everything else myself. I got the bike back on 5/19. I already did the tank myself. I did the new handlebars next. Mounted the rear fender on the 25th. I really started in on it on the first of this month. Had it completely stripped down to bare frame on the 4th. Did 130 miles on it this weekend.
