    Had a few minutes to kill and it is over 60 today so a quick soap and water wash. It’s got rough spots but overall the paint is really solid on it.

Loved the chain guard and fender color as well.I was riding last years class 2 bike and a friend told me we could do better. So I sent him this and he was in. We do have to line up a time to get...

    The next build off? Plans for the future

    Forgot about this scrap pile save I got when buying the woman’s monark for its fork. Probably wouldn’t win anything but may try this if I can get it into class one. Not sure how old the modified top tube is but the welds are ugly
