    Sure they are. I'm in the process of building a better one. I've ordered
    most of the bits, so today I made a start of painting the frame.

    And you thought you have a green machine when you were a kid... Not that I'm
    like, you know, hijacking the thread or anything.

    We thought you were being terribly discreet about it. :p

    Discretion is my middle name. I should have a t-shirt made with that printed on it. In red. And glitter.

    More to the point, the bike won't be finished by the 22nd. I calculated how much I still had to spend on it along with how much I've already spent and it's a bit scary. All those $10 and $20 and $50 purchases add up awfully fast.

    Wow. That looks really nice. It looks like you've done a lot of work on it. Dunno about the colour (but then I like plain white, so what would I know)!

    Cheers,

    Suzy (soon to be back on a fixed wheel hrself)

    It is extraordinarily green. Chartreuse, actually...it's either a greenish yellow or a yellowish green. Either way, it's fsckin' bright. It's actually the colour they were painting the Ford BA Falcons a while back. I got the dropouts done at Abbotsford Cycles as I have no illusions about my welding ability.
