Meet, the Syrup Hog, a bike I built completely from scratch with very little bike building knowledge.  As with most of my projects, all it took was a willingness to make mistakes and seek knowledge from those with more experience than I.  Each part was meticulously researched, second guessed, and obsessed over.  There are no words to describe my love for this bike, so instead I'll share the specs for my fellow bike nerds:
