Spacely Sprockets
Retro Newbie
Hi all. This is my first post, though I've been lurking here for a while now: Nice board! Hope you don't take umbrage at Uhhmerican participation .
Here's my #1 vintage ride - a '93 custom from Jeff Richman (my cousin). I described my riding preferences and spec'd the components, and Jeff took it from there after measuring everything from my arm length to my shoe size. Other than the NOS tires and front and rear pivot rebuild, everything is original and still going strong.
