Tell me more about how you tried to fake your own death

LOL! The funny thing is, when George Bush signed off on that stimulus package for the banks, it voided the old loophole where if you claim bankruptcy you don't have to pay back your student loans.

In fact, if I claimed Bankruptcy, I would have had to pay back more, probably $300,000 instead of $120,000.

When I read the find print a couple of years ago on the student loan papers, it said.

Reasons for not having to payback your student loans.

A. If you die.

And that was the end of the section, no joke.  If my parents had cosigned on the student loan, even if I died, they would have had to pay it back, which I am glad they didn't.


If you have ever seen Dirty Work with Norm MacDonald and Dave Chapelle, I always like the idea of getting a homeless guy of similar size and running my car off a cliff.

If Diablo used that rear triangle....... Hmmmm.....

Looks good. Cant wait to see it finished.

DUDE, thats awesome!!!!!!

The only thing I'd do different is use the GT Performer style font for the "TRICK FORM and Tucker" decals to give them the complete Hutch/Gt fused look......the font your using kinda looks a tad hard to read

once again, great idea. cant wait to see the end result......

I messed with a lot of fonts, and the two fonts were so different that it was hard to fuse them, at least to my abilities.

I always loved the wings designs of Gt and SE, and since the front dropouts are a fusion of SE/Standard/Hutch after 4 or 5 attempts that is the one I like the most.

I think later on I may change the downtube decal, but I am still happy with the Top tube decal.

I like it! also noticed that it has a brake bridge for a side pull caliper and not u-brakes...once again i like that too!
your logo is very cool also! nice job on all of it!! ok thats enough stroking for today...

whats the general cost factor for a custom f/f?

Looks wicked John! The decals are great as they are too. I'd love to do this myself one day

I'm subscribing to this. I want to see the finished product in a bad way!

Out of curiosity, what's the damage on a custom frame like this? If you'd rather not say, I totally understand

No I don't mind, but after sending certain parts back to be re-made, Rick said he will never do it for this price again.

After Frame and Fork with custom dropouts, powdercoating in Candy with multiple parts I sent to be powdered it came to a cool $1150 or so.

The one comfort I do have in this is that in Texas anything over $1500 is felony theft, so if this is ever stolen the perp will get some severe jail time and a strike.

And in my town, if someone does steal it, there are not too many places to hide it.
