Complete Handmade Bicycle!

Took it on it's first test ride on the W+OD trail! It rode surprisingly well for my first frame. Also took it into DC today and rode around the city without any problems.

Thanks to all my friends and family that supported my efforts! Special thanks to [Plum Grove Cyclery](http://www.plumgrovecyclery.com/) for their expert help, Campy frame tools and necessary build out parts. Could not have done it without them. Special thanks to [Rich Adams](http://www.bicycleframes.com/) and [Around Town Bicycles](http://www.atownbikes.com/) in Wilkes Barre PA. The have been very supportive and Rich was always willing to answer my emails. I plan on doing a more verbose post about the whole experience soon.... stay tuned.
