I really like the colorway and your choice of parts. Not too sure about the brake location and the cranks are probably way too long for the wife unless she's pushing the 6 foot mark...

Thanks! Did another bike BITD with brakes located behind BB. Works Link has brake bridge down there. Just something different. Cranks came as trade-intended on 180's as I traded away 175's.

As for wife pushing 6 feet-I figure she could put on some heels when she rides and that would put her over 6 foot plus!!

Steph will be just fine on it.Question is can you keep up ?

getwheels · 2012-10-12 7:35am

So long as wife is in front I do not mind the view and will keep up.

It's for his wife so it's ok

tomknox · 2013-02-20 10:49am

Ooo, didn't know that. That certainly makes it easier on the eyes!!

Yes I know it is a race bike. Built lots of race bikes BITD & raced from '80-'89 while working in the LBS. When I got back into bikes I could not justify buying back previous bikes: JMC DY & JMC24 Cruiser at today's prices. Auburn came into the picture just as I was getting out of racing/BMX. Something about that Works Link . . . and the team green units. Found a sweet deal on a red one and I traded/sold most of the hardware. Now I build with intent of what I like not to be be era specific. Got to enjoy the fact that everybody can add spice to things in their own ways.

And BTW Richie Anderson & Andy Patterson built careers on Graphites

Since the last pic was a few months back... Got any more recent pics of it completed? I like the brake on chainstay, think it looks better on top of it tho. Just me. All in all, great job. Like u said, build it how you want it

Been cold and some projects went idle. Things just don't feel right wrenching in my shop in the cold. Need to get the heater hooked up to feel toasty and warm. Got a tap the gas line out to garage from house. . . . then watch out!
