and it looks like you paid more then $500 for the bike, also exceeded the $20 parts budget too? no cheap Chinese parts ? kidding aside it looks beautiful.
Well I started with a frame and collected or made everything else. Nothing quite like cutting 10mm Dural plate with a hacksaw!
"exceeded the budget" well just a bit! When i started the build the deal was to complete for a fixed price, then they said they wanted a "period" bike and as a Harris would have built around the late 70's / early 80's. So Dymag wheels, Marzocchi M1R 38mm, Lockheed callipers, Magnum / F1 bodywork etc. Strangely he expected me to hold a fixed price....yeah right!

A few more pics, I think it turned out OK considering 90% of the bike is almost 40 years old!
