Since having the baby has cut way back on my riding time I commute to work via bicycle. I don’t want to ride one of my current bikes in the salt and snow. Plus I really need a project to help with boredom.
Decided on this huffy frame with the worst paint I’ve ever seen. I’m not picky about paint but this repaint sucks.
Some time with a wire brush highlighted this was even worse then I expected.
This means I’m undecided with what kind of finish to use. Decided to break out the sander and investigate further.
. It’s as ugly as I expected, but no cracks and only one dent. Got a few nice days here so I need to decide if I want it painted or not. Headed out for the wife’s birthday dinner.
