Awesome build makes me wanna get one. Has your breaking surface worn yet? The all black looks great but sadly doesn't last

Thanks! Unfortunately the braking surface has worn. But it still looks pretty good imho.

Very nice.. whats the rack?

Thanks! It's a velo orange pass hunter. It fits with some extra spacers since the fork crown sits too high.

It's awesome that we have the same frame, but two very different bikes built for two very different purposes.

Very true! Such a great and versatile frame. I admit that I have looked at your party tourer (best name ever) more than once for inspiration even if my bike turned out like this. Your CC is awesome!

Super nice ride! Its inspired me to build my own. How are the fat boy 45s for clearance in the back? I'm thinking about doing the same but seems like it'd be pretty tight.

Thanks! No, It's definately not a tight fit with those tyres. Lots of room left. They got a lot Of punctures though, like ridiculoisly many. I've went for paselas now instead. Apart from the punctures, they were really nice tyres.
