10.03.11 I was without a computer for a while, but now I am back in action.  Been working on this frame for a guy all the way in Niigata City, Japan.  I met him while I was out there a couple months ago and he was riding a folder bike around town.  Needless to say, this is going to be quite a different ride!  It is designed for a Sturmey archer 3-speed internal hub with a coaster brake.  The chainstays are a bit longer and angles a bit more slack than a fixed gear build but this is still going to have some serious cruising potential.  The fork crown is stainless and will be left brushed.
