BO15 No Mask Necessary

[yoothgeye]

I don’t really have a lunch break, this virtual schooling is insane. I can run out for 10-15 minutes to check and make sure my kids are doing their work and okay at home.

Anyway, I did manage to pull the bike out, put the rear wheel on, and fit a rear rack.

I think the black rack balances well with the black strut rods. I’ll check later if the rack is bent behind the uprights, just noticed in the photo is looks like it.

I love apes but I’m not sure since this was just the first set of bars I tried.

Gonna make the wheel sprocket match?

Nope, too much work for too little payoff. Good eye though. Nobody else noticed.

Edit: Just counted the rear teeth, 19... glad I didn’t try.

This will be hard to see in photos, but the wheels were too clean and the painted needed more aging.

Ape hangers are out but I finally have a bike for this slick unmarked stem. No idea what it came off of, chrome is perfect.

This rack is boring.

A little better.

Okay, I think I like this a little better.

Got some paint drying on the rack (it was too shiny) and tried some other bars. I think I like these lower apes, but didn’t like really low bars.

After painting the first chainguard and realizing it was too short, I grabbed a dozen more and no fit, then I remembered I have 2 of these bikes complete out back and grabbed a chainguard.

But, I couldn’t leave it alone.

Waiting for paint to dry again I found these grips. Are these still available?

@ifitsfreeitsforme is looking for a new vendor ?

Don’t want your chain overheating.

Nice mods on the woody rack and the chain vent. Curve that scrap rack insert and it might be cool on the seat tube.

Last thing, put on pedals... good time to realize your crank is stripped.

Rides pretty good for a piece of junk.

If I learned anything from the movie Zootopia, it’s that rhinos are more aggressive than bunnies.

I forgot to mention, the "dirty work" I did on the rims was taking wood stain on a paper towel and wiping the clean wheels down. I also rubbed it over the entire frame. gives a nice addition to patina, dries overnight and offers another layer of protection.
