    That's really a nice looking ride. :thumbsup: I've updated the Thread Title a bit, so search engines can better index it.

    Very nice work. I like the front suspension. Does the front have enough weight to react to bumps?

    Nice work! I built a highracer many moons ago (2009ish??) First time I tried welding. I didn't use a proper jig and the headtube angle was cockeyed by about a half degree. Also wasn't too confident about my welds. My stem/handlebar setup was also pretty janky. Rode if for a summer and then it sat for several years until I trashed the frame when cleaning the garage during COVID. I'd like to try and build a Zox clone or one of AZ's Tomawhawk lowracers--if I do, I will probably cut and jig the tubes up and then outsource the actual welding.

    Nice build, i have built four from AZ so far, and am thinking about a spirit.For the chain guide, PEX is awesome to work with, cheap and easy to flute the ends with a heat gun.
