Hi @lister_yu and @Rconroy I didn't take any photos of making this but I made a video of making my bike earlier this year. You can find it on http://spokemagazine.com/content/2015/07/27/keaonstruction

I am really digging the mixture of Race Face and SRAM components on this garage build. The little blue and red ascents really add a touch. Frame is solid.

it's for his child. he made the frame and asked people to donate parts to help complete the build. the key here is that he made the frame.

I do like the garage built aspect of it. I just have a particular hatred for reflectors on bikes LOL not meant to be a dick
