Jason Alsvig's TIG Welded Steel Dirt Jumper

My first frame is now attached to enough components so it can be considered a complete bike. I had the intention of it being a new school dirt jumper and it feels like it in some ways, but it also rides a little like an old school BMX cruiser. Like an old GT 24" I have, sort of. It rides great and straight even with no hands! It jumps good, manuals good (a ton easier than the GT), feels pretty stiff and corners like it's on rails. The finish on it right now is a rattle can clear coat and I like the way it looks but it is soft. I'm going to find a paint shop that can give it a durable clear coat, hopefully for a cheap price.
