My first official RRB build. A 90's murray monterey that i picked up for $10 bucks. I hated the way it looked but felt this bearing rusted, poorly braking pile of metal deserved a better life then its current state. I've always liked the board tracker look so i decided to strip it down and begin the make-over.
when i first got it.
frame stripped
i decided to ditch the current 26" wheels and save them for the next build while collecting a bin of new parts
going with a new 24" wheel set with some new 24x3 thick bricks.
tractor light will also be added with a nice LED mod
and of course i wanted to do something to make this bike stand out sooooo... on with the 65t sprocket
i hated the stem that came with the bike so i decided to pick up something a little fancier and streamline that i had to modify to fit my current fork (which ill be changing later on to a CWC when i can pick one up). handle bars are the ones it came with so i cut them up to make then look a little cooler. they are rusted to heck so i didnt care much for them. they are probably going to be temp anyways.
and here are some mock up pics
i have an idea about color... some black and some grey... i still need to figure out my seat situation but im not worrying about it too much right now. i have plans for a layback seat post and maybe a nice simple raty pan or some old school personal/troxel seat.
