This started out as "Scurf" but was redone a couple of times to make it more feasible as a rider. This was too heavy and had a lot of spring in the frame but was fun to ride for a minute or two.

I shortened the frame and repainted it red. I freehanded the footboard to mimic EVH's guitar frankenstrat.

I respoked the wheels to get the gold hubs for my SWBO bike. They will get trued at the bike shop today. The new red tire showed and I'm going to change the handlebars also. Then I hope to get in some exercise riding the thing.

No front brakes in my stash, just rear, so it got the dreaded V brake up front. But has excellent stopping power. I went with handlegrips, the tape wasn't working and I had a pair that matched. I went for a ride and it rode well, great downhill standing up with the apes. Nice and warm this morning.

It's steeper than it looks. Cars can't make it up when it rainy. It goes uphill from my place too, that's why the big concrete blocks are out front. But there's no worry about tsunamis, we're at 200 feet above sea level.
