@ameybrook: Serial number is U167. The bike isn't finished yet.

@bushpig: Mmmm, that's tasty. Mine won't have much bling factor, though.

@Rod_Saetan: I've never seen that color combo before. Very bright! A nice example, but it's not the "ultimate" Ultimate to me.

I guess I should edit the title of this thread to read "My ultimate Ultimate". :roll:

That would stop me being a pedantic asshole yes.

nah, man; don't change it. Yours can still be the ultimate Ultimate, as the others have things that might keep them from being ultimate Ultimates, and I'm not being pedantic.

looking forward to the final build.

Here is my old Ultimate - a little bright! I am on the hunt for a small frame.

Is that an Ultimate Jeep on the background?

If that's all it takes to get a rise out of you I think I'll keep the title. .

Some updates. I picked up the stem from the powdercoaters over the weekend. It turned out great (pics after I applied new decals):

Before:

After:

A note for others thinking of powder coating a stem -- make sure the bottom of the stem is masked. I had to sand off the powder coat because I couldn't get the stem to fit in the steerer tube. Lesson learned. :?

I also popped on the wheels and tires. She's coming along beautifully now.

The tires are Tioga, but not Farmer John's. I hope I don't upset the purists, or Rod. :roll:
