If I understand this project correctly (and for me that's always iffy) it seems to have two parts. One part is to build bikes for others to ride. The other part is more personal for you, and thus in my book, more valuable. You want to pay homage to and honor a time, place, group of people and achievements in your life. My two cents...follow your heart and this second mission. Greatness comes more often from a personal itch that needs scratching than a public need met.
