It is done finally...super stoked with this baby. My most prized build. She was so hard to build because of some technical issues in installing the tioga head set, seat tube mast and the tange sealed bottom bracket. almost didn't make in the 2015 calendar build off completed submission. Huge thanks to my two buddies...you know who you are. I know many of you here will enjoy this but not as much as I do...hehehe:))

At long last...just cant believe it.. just found today 11june2013. went to accompany wife to a tailor..women stuff. came a boy on the bike slowly pass by my car. my god..loop tail, hole in gusset. can that be.......? dropped wife, quickly turn round the corner, eyes searching, boy gone. circled the blocks no sign of the young kid. parked my car and hoping he would reappear. then there he was happily riding.. seemed we are destined to meet. stopped  the boy and asked would he sell his bike for rm300 (~90dollars). told me he need to ask his grandma who's looking after a grocery shop nearby. my heart was thumping n hands shivering. long story short. met the lovely old lady. i was greeted with all smiles by his family members.. verrrrry good sign. paid the boy, I GOT IT. like a kid who just found a treasure box took the ET to my car and drove to my BEAUTIFUL wife.
