This was the first ever bicycle I attempted to build from the ground up: it started out as a truly battered white-and-salt-corrosion frame from the East Coast with no fork or bottom bracket, and had a cracked seatpost tube; but with some time and effort, paint and parts from many new and used sources, she was all patched up and over the last year-and-something has carried me through a few hundred miles of SoCal streets and trails. It was high time for some upgrades however, and today while AC and the little one were sleeping, I took some photos:
New chain (the old one was a rusty beater used one with kinks in it)
New bar with more sweep and a 1.5" rise; 3" cut off each side. So much more comfortable!
13 tooth rear cog to replace the 14 that was on there for a slightly taller gear ratio to accommodate my desire for speed and manly calves(!)
Installed my old rear fender from when I lived in PDX ('cause I'll be living there again soon!)
