I got the hard tail, and am meeting with the welder tomorrow. I found a front and rear wheel set that have both brakes drum breaks which is what I wanted. Here are a some picture:

Just checked out your print site, awsum! If you do a poster for the 650, I, too, have an interest. 'Course I gotta see what ya do, maybe a bike with the tuning fork behind it?
