I am very happy with this bike. I may lose the seat and get a new one. Bars are a bit poorly wrapped, but its function. Now I am learning how to ride this thing. Fixed gear is crazy weird. Thanks Mike for letting me chop and tear apart your old bike! This fall = PAINT!

So I forgot to put the rim bands on and within minutes of inflating my new tires, both tubes popped. DUH DAN! Hopefully I can ride tonight. This fall I will be stripping again and painting the bike.

We were supposed to beach it all day on Sunday but there was a big storm front in the morning and it was still pretty cloudy in the early afternoon. The EPA says not to be in Lake Erie for at least 24 hours after rainfall, especially a storm. The rest of the day was sweltering hot, so we decided to stay at home and get things done. Later we went on a bike ride to the Harp to get some dinner. Great time. I had to ride my trail bike since the new one is still torn apart.
