Just finished my response. Check it out and I would appreciate any feedback and advice on it.

damn!, this is the kind of bike I love coming across. thick tires like a hip hop honey with more storage options than military cargo pants & hand position options suitable for a mime. Not to mention a respected drivetrain that can go the distances this thing looks like it was built to do, all with the silver fenders which make this bike! & stretched leather saddle giving a wink of pure class as you cruise past insecure elitists in an old school mountain bike from a period when it was all about having fun anywhere you want to ride. This bike has more than gotten a 'Response' outta me. Incredible job of creating a down & dirty bad boy that gives the illusions of being so free that it has a set of wings tucked back into the frameset somewhere.

Can't get over this build right now, so much radness. I would love to have a build almost as rad as this bike.

This looks really fun to ride. Would you ever put different tires on it if you were to ride in the snow?
