Both handlebars are too far forward.

Still have both of my Hutch bikes I built back in '85.

Why not keep the axle pegs? Easier to do endos.

Cool bike, nice work.

I have/had an old Giant road bike frame I had stripped and was going to custom paint and rebuild. I got side tracked, it rusted, I lost interest.

The bike was a freebie. Im looking into getting more bikes soon hopefully. I think the three im currently looking at are at least 19.5” toptubes.
