Cool
Even when I slowed it down to 1/4 speed you were still booking down that hill.

 

[rev106]

Well yeah, look ahead, less likely to crash, look down, crash for sure!

I said "booking down the hill" not "looking"

Put about 50 dirt miles on the bike so far.

BB is flexy, I can see why that twin down tube design did not go. I could weld a gusset in but it would sort of ruin the look and it is not so bad that things start rubbing so I think I will let the design stand for now.

Climbing got better once I learned where to position myself.

Bombs hill great, the low bb drop being the cause of that I gather. You can really lay it down on a descent and it won't break loose.

Breaks broken in etc. got rid os all the creaks and groans. Figure it is time to take it apart and paint.

How are the drum brakes holding up during a fast downhill bomb? I guess as opposed to a hot coaster with a front canti brake on a downhill.

well they sorta suck you know? I'm used to crappy brakes though so it was not much of a learning curve for me. Just hang on!

Working on paint, looking like it is going to be a dark to light blue candy fade or Smurf leprosy, you decide.

Funny, I read 'Looking' also.
Speaking of looking, the bike is looking good!

Thanks! Third coat of paint looks much better, going to finish it up here soon.
