Superb Hector , as I said on OS those Itsons look so much better than the quite often used ( uglier ) monkey bars used on these builds .

Lovin' the history too  ;)

Just need Hutch grips and cranks. I based the build on a set of 1 of 2 Profile magnatanium mini cranks I was suppose to own but they were sold from under me. For the life of me, I cant decide on a crank set worthy of such build.
