Once it's built this is going to be my constant weapon of choice...

Nothing....

It's just gonna be a special occasion bike until I lose plenty of weight..

This, being gods finest grade of steel, will happily handle whatever I want it to, I'm building it to ride....and ride....and ride some more.
