More Info:
This was originaly built as a job for someone but somehow I failed get in contact with the person after starting the bike. It was built into a roughed up mockup state without installing the details like brakes or shifters. It was in running condition for short test runs to see how well it ran before trying to do finish work on it. It was sold after a year of sitting around with no word from the original owner that had asked for it. It was a very nice running machine.
