Thug Posted July 1, 2013 Share Soon to be completed... The momsen will donate some parts to "The flying Dutchman". Since I'm first generation Dutchman South Africa I thought my bike should pay some kind of a tribute to my heratige, hence the color scheme. I can't wait to put this puppy together!! That's going to be interesting with a Surly fork. Is that the KM fork?

Wyatt Earp Posted July 1, 2013 Share That steel is the real deal!! Wow great job. Interested to know how the cut it? Laser? The tubing is quite thin.They cut a piece out and lugged (for a lack of better words) the jigsaw piece in.The weld was super neat and paintwork was touched up.
