My first shot at a custom bike

I've been watching too much American Chopper.

This thing started out as my room mate's old Schwinn. It turned out pretty good for a first time, low budget bike build. There are a couple little design shortcommings but all in all it's a fun bike.

I haven't gotten pics up yet with the chain on it. The suicide shifter actuates the front deraileur to give the bike 3 speeds. The rear deraileur is just for keeping tension in the chain.

man thats sweet you shouldve went with a 26/20 wheel combo it looks sweeter but since you went 20/16 use the fatest tire available in the back like a 20x 2.125.
