Still super fun to ride. Switched to some Schwalbe tires as the vee Speedsters got a lot of punctures from weld slag when I was using it...

Cleaned this up yesterday. Was really filthy from the factory I had it in. Hadn’t touched it since leaving that job 3 yrs ago.

I would just drill from the outside of the fork,
