I know you guys up north don't speak true American english...but nanner is slang for banana.
If you want to start something new...how about buckets? It's a term they both had in common.
Sneaky fast....like a weasel!
I may just jump into that one with a toc build
When does ToC become ToCBL?

Otherwise, a ToC bike is ~2000?

I agree. I always try to remember the geneaology of the parts I use on my builds. It's fun following who they came from or who made them for what build. Hakuna Matata circle of bike stuff.

Technically the earliest muscle bikes or High Rise bikes had what people call Polo seats. They were the precursors to the Banana seats that came shortly after. In the muscle bike world "Polo" seats are the flat long seat that don't curve.

I've been calling them nanners for years. I even have a forever build called "Nanner Puddin"

Does that mean that many of the builds here on RRB are Pre-TOC!!!!!???
Now that I'm caught up on your build, I like the low life growler grabber beer run vibe it has so far.
Thank you sir. Changes and progress soon after all this pesky work stops getting in the way

You are the "someone" I was talking about, didn't want to bother you and the missus' European vacation with a pointless shout out. Now you are back, so, "Hey! It was the King!"I've been calling them nanners for years. I even have a forever build called "Nanner Puddin"
On the road traveling for work and had some time to kill today so I stopped in a small hole in the wall bike shop and scored! While making small talk I found out they had a set of thick slicks in the back "forever" that somebody ordered and never came back for. $25 for the pair! And the nice guys at my following meeting boxed them up and shipped them from Pennsylvania to my house no cost! Winning
I won't use them on this build but an update is an update

Killer score. Thick Slicks are great looking tires.
They barely look pneumatic.
