Wife said I could build a BIKE....don't laugh

[bubtrauma]

I have had an engine in my garage from my 94 FLHTC and the wife asked what I was going to do with it? SO. I said someday I hope to fulfill a dream and build a bike.  SHE said, well, why don't you? Guz there are a million other things that the money should go to before I build a bike. Well do as you please she said but if you don't get started on it soon you will never do it. Well I stood there and said who are you and what do you want are you divorcing me. Apparently that wasn't the right thing to say. SO I went to my Bike shop cycleboyz.com and they JUST happen to have a kraft tech frame 180 tire 13/8 tubing 35 degree rake 8" up stretch and 4" on the back bone AND it had a 58mm inverted front end with a 5 degree rake. Wow, I couldn't not take it.

So now I don't have room in the garage to do it so the wife said why not build it on one side of the basement WHICH she cleaned up for me so I could build a stand to work on it. AGAIN I asked who are you.

Well now I'm am an official amateur BIKE Builder. I just hope the wife never wakes up ...... lol. And yes I checked all her hiding spots and found no DRUGS just the usual "chocolate".

I know it will take a few years to complete but it should be fun.......

I will post the pictures as I go

Just keep waiting until the other shoe drops... You know, "maybe you should move the bike to the garage so my mom can move into the basement".... or "honey, how upset would you be to find out we might be having a bi-racial kid" ... or " I may have screwed up mailing in last years income tax return" or  Ok, you get the picture.  The day my wife starts doing that much for me, I'm hiring a private detective.
