Nice looking build! Just read through it all - pretty impressive stuff. I'm local too (Castro Valley) and am looking for a good media blaster. What was the company called in Livermore that did your frame?
I like the wheels too - bought the same set a couple weeks ago
...while reading through your thread I thought "Wait a minute...he's got the same wheels I do!" Great minds thing alike
Anyways, hope to see you around the east bay sometime.
