You're moving at warp speed

Get ready for the slow down, I don’t know what wheels to use or if I have any suitable. Brakes, gotta decide. Stem and bars. Ugh. Frame and fork were easy.

I got exactly ZERO work done today. Spent the morning helping a friend install some stuff at a house they’re building then came home and made my kids help me clean my carport.

Another one of my TikTok videos went over a million views today, so there’s that. Haha

Thanks. I saw that.

Anyway, the other day I dug around in the upstairs of the shop and grabbed these sweet Araya wheels off a Vintage Ross mountain bike, I’m going to swap the axles for nutted, put on a single speed freewheel, and clean them up.

Paint is the bomb! Reminds me of my old '88 Diamond Back Ascent EX.....now to find that photo.....

I even had the tights to match! Haha! Oh boy, the '80s!

And all loaded up for race day...

Very cool, I have a few vintage MTBs here with splatter paint.

I got the wheels sorted out.

 

[yoothgeye]

And here’s a poor photo for a tease of the wheels on it.

Okay, here’s a better view. Bar angle is all wrong, but I think this will be a head turner.

Why am I spending money on this thing?

To make kickstands feel inferior?
