One Step Closer to Green Bliss

….to riding the new Green Machine. I spent about 4 hours building the Vassago Cycles Bandersnatch last night over at AVX. Richy, the shop owner, is kind enough to let have my way this his tools. So without further adu here are the build pics (I apologize for the shaky shots, but our camera stinks):

Two of my favortie things:a Bandersnatch and Sweetwater 420 on tap. Yes they have a keg in the service area!

There will be some upgrades as the new sponsor products arrive. The most anticipated bit is the new Hayes Stroker brakes!

Now it’s time to go ride it.
