MTB conversion

[user 3630]

A friend gave me a very unattractive Murray Mountain Bike recently. Everyone who has seen it had commented on the very dated 80's paint scheme. It certainly wasnt my favorite color either, but not worth trashing the bike over... maybe. I decided to give the bike a make over, and thanks to CCR for the chainring, I have been able to complete it.

Anyway, these are the before and after photos:

thats a big improvement. i dig the color scheme, too. i've done this type of conversion to a few other older mountain bikes before and it always is an improvement. got one or two more that need the treatment... and they're gonna get the treatment... if they know whats good for them, ya see. sorry, had a buggsy malone moment.

Funny what a set of white walls can do.

Nice face lift, she's much prettier now, now you'd like to be see with her, I bet.

Yeah, certainly not embarassing anymore.

:lol: Yeah, i think it's definately worth the effort. My only complaint is that the bottom brackets are sooooo high.
