            Paint is awesome and really like how you cut the rear fender. Keep up the good work.

              Nice looking bike IN THIS PICTURE.
              You probably paid way too much for a non-running bike though.
              What the heck went so terribly wrong with it while it was in your possession?
              Was it stolen and recovered by the LEO's?

                      I thought the bike rack was a nice functional addition. My son would like to make a Kayak rack on his. I like the green and cream combo. The red pipes don't do much for me tho. Looks like your on the coast of N.C. to me.

                        I used to BMX on a 2005 GT Performer but everyday, I'd come back home with a broken ass. I suck at it .

                          Having that much weight up that high and behind the axle is just begging for problems.

                          Functionally, you would be far better off with a small trailer, instead.

                          Sorry, but like 7981GS, I think it looked better in the "BEFORE" picture.

                            I like the bike!

                            Although the bike rack is a bit much for me, I get it's use. Is it removable?

                              I kinda like the little bike. I think the paint is cool, in a ninja turtles inspired way .

                              Again I gotta say it looks funky with the BMX out back but as long as it handles OK I guess it works for you.

                              The 1 inch bar is the first I've seen on a GS though. I like the shorty levers too.

                              Please paint that exhaust black though. The red cans are obnoxious looking.

                              Also don't get discouraged by people here who may not like your work. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but hey. Different strokes for different folks right?
