I Don't Know....But if it were me..it'd have air in the front tire and that's all I'd do to it after this morning.
That's a nice bike.!

Yeah, and tighten the chain.
Its not as nice as it looks, the paint is really chipped, the back axle is stripped beyond help, front wheel is bent, tank is missing front half, seat and rack hardware was missing. The only thing staying on the frame is whats left of the tank, cranks, seatpost and maybe the chaingaurd. The fork, wheels, fenders, rack, and seat are gone. I will have to find some handlebars for it and some hoseclamps. My budget is pretty much close to zero so its how its gotta be. Oh yeah, I cant paint anything here so its all parts as found. It wont be a contest winner but it is kinda fun kitbashing whatever I find
"kitbashing" is half the fun! :mrgreen:
I finished my bike today. I took it to the park for pictures and all was good till I was coming back in the house. Not only did I drop my camera but I stepped on it too. So with that being said, Good luck to everyone else in the buildoff. I'll have to wait and ask Santa for a new camera and post it some time in late December
Tragic and ebrupt end to a possibly good competitor
