Thanks Patrick. I think this is a function of having a year to contemplate
the build. Glad to be riding the thing.

I saw that orange and it's wild.

a bit surprised that they ran that narrow... I ran 26" version of Big Bens
on my Hunqapillar and really liked them.
I probably would have tried Super Moto-X had I known about them. But, then
