XVII Wichita County Chopper: Its Done


Well here it is!!!! This is especially for Ronnie because I got it the day after she left and she couldn't open the pic I sent her. After two years and lotsa moola later the Chopper is complete and it is exactly what I hoped it would be. Rides like butttttterrrrr! I would describe the ride and every thing about it but my best friend Jeff described it best so I will try to paraphrase the best I can. First you need to know Jeff thinks I am insane and also thinks most cyclist are insane. He is obviously not a cyclist but is an avid runner and in general is just a good athlete. He happened to be over when I brought my bike home from TCC and hopped on my Ti bike and rode down the block and back. When he got back he then hopped on the new bike and did the same. When he got back he described the difference. Here is my best at paraphrasing what he said excluding the complaints about how small the saddle is "The first bike was nice but the second bike soon as I touched the pedal it took off" That pretty much sums it up for me.
