I have a Dagger, stored away in a closet. It was my first FS.. loved it. Maybe someday, I will put it back together. One question... how do refasten the cable guides? Will be watching.. can't wait to see the finished build.

hi.. Maybe I worded my post wrong... I was hoping that people could list their favorite builds, and not choose the best of the three that I posted. Especially, builds that are older that I probably missed. --Michael

Looks nice, but you got a real evil looking kick stand...

I have the same Race Face crank. One of the carbon fiber stickers was missing. I found some stickers on US ebay for $1.00 shipped that matched very well. So, if yours ever fall off or look tattered.. cheap replacements are plenty.

I like the current paint job more than the one in the add.

Went to the LBS that I pass everyday on my commute to work looking for some Nitto trekking bars. The shop is very high end.. many nice Italian rode bikes and have a bunch of Moulton bikes. One of the Moulton bikes priced more than what I paid for my car :shock: Anyways, they have a...
