[MENTION=47323]OND[/MENTION] congratulations Eric. I bet you're stoked! Hey, never tried one of the 4.5" OldMiniBikes brakes. I have used several Cat 4.00's and they're all pretty craptastic. Slightly better than a Cat sprocket brake.
However the drum brake Cheezy sold me with a Stellar will lock up the tire. So I guess they can be made good.

Congrats my friend! You will enjoy the feeling. I can attest to that. We have been blessed with Houses. Built our first house on an acre of land the wife inherited. Just the 2 of us. We hung 12 foot sheets of sheetrock on the ceiling by ourselves... Hand nailed too. Didn't have a screw gun like today. We were much younger and enthusiastic way back then. We had the frame work and roof done by a friend so we could get it dry as fast as possible but we did all the rest. Paid for it as we went and were blessed that we never had a payment on that house. Bought this house in 2006 and had a payment on it for a year while the house and property in Charleston sold. Bought twice the house in the country on 6 acres instead of one and had money left over to build my shop. Again we have been blessed with this house and no payment. It gives you a whole different sense of security knowing that it is yours and nobody can knock on the door with there hand out. May is not far. You will make it! Besides you have a build off to compete in I suspect...

I am debt free and have been for a few years. But I also have very little things of value. I guess I will have to value things like friendship and past memories with more respect.
I just got home last night from a hospital stay with the VA and a nursing rehabilitation center full of people in all stages of senior care and I feel better after seeing a glimpse of their life
