John Speare said...: Alex: I plan on leaving it uncut and putting a tall stem on it and some up-turned drop bars. It's going to rule!

Jon: that's a slot for a drum brake arm. The cycle truck has a front drum brake + dyno. Which is a great combo for a cycle truck, if I don't say so myself.; February 8, 2011 at 3:45:00 PM PST

upturned drop bars? heck no; February 8, 2011 at 4:08:00 PM PST

That would be rad.; February 9, 2011 at 11:00:00 AM PST
