scraped this out today. wrong size wheels. 26 instead of 26. You can see the brakes won't reach. bent fork looks like the front wheel was filled with spray foam. Why not, look at all those spray foam auto repair jobs on youtube from Mechanical Nightmares or Just Rolled in. Cool 1 piece brake...

needs a pair of the special hubs. The rest is regular bike parts. I noticed the sprocket is on the left side too. One issue is one of the rear axles is missing the left hand threaded inboard nut and someone decided to weld the axle to the bearing. Hubs run about $20 each.

I tried out this new spray head design from Rust-oleum. My hands are now covered in clear. They claim you can use the can in any angle but it leaks all over when just used in the upright position. More complaints. It it has a wide flat spray pattern and shoots a lot of paint in a hurry...
