Thanks guys. Having blast with the cruisers. Dam did I jump off the deep end. More to come on the Gary Turner goodies. Im just about done with my 26.
I have pictures of Gary Turner himself holding my frame working on the headtube when I was picking it up.

Stylish build, love the parts selection and red/blue combo done just right. This motivates me to move on my 78/79 build..!
I agree with Axel10, it is great to see the new Gary Turner bars put to good use!
