Nothing like breathing life into something that looked terminal.

And making it your project as well.

Glad to see that grin on the test ride.

Ok well I mounted the lights today....I switched to Cat Eyes which have a personal history. They are the lights we used when we toured a summer on Mountain Bikes in Oregon back in the way back! We were the ones with a trailer and carrying lots of gear. We helped a lot 10 speeders that year with repairs and food. We would camp in an area and ride the trails for a couple of days before moving on!

Re: Velo Jardin-New Photos...Approaching the FINISH!

Hi guys...
Just wanted to check in.

I am doing the finishing touches on VJ (pictures soon).

Work is been a distraction as we transition to a much nicer Cloud system.

Troy has been fighting fires.

I will get a video of him and one of his slides. (I would try it but ...well....maybe I will :lol: ) The family that eats dust together...????

So very very very true. Troy is headed to the shop to finish up the rustiest build award. He has a hour before he heads back out to the fires!

You now have a set of glow in the dark OURY grips headed your way.
I took these off of some parts bike a year or so ago and I discovered they were glow in the dark the same way Jats did. I turned out the lights in my shop and noticed something glowing in a clear container up on the shelf.
