(no subject)
so i've spent the last two weeks ripping apart, cleaning, and generally exploring my bike because i didn't know what the hell i was doing and it was unridable anyways. I scrubbed it clean and my shit is looking fresh...
new: $100
- pedals + toe clips (soon, chrome)
- brake levers (black, handlebar cork [white])
- brake cables + housing (white)
- shifter cables
- chain
- derailleur (rear, soon)
clean:
- ENTIRE drive train that was caked with the most coagulated black tar i've ever seen (now not black, 6 hours)
- seat w/denatured alcohol to resurface (now white, 1 hour)
- frame (now red, 1.5 hours, you can read the logos now)
- wheels (still dingy, 1.5 hours)
broke:
- rear derailleur
things i took apart that i shouldn't have:
- wheel axle
- friction shifters
- brakes
- rear derailleur
people who give a shit:
- no one
- me
gotta get it ready for the season! who else is riding with me besides pat?
