It's a bit tight, gonna stretch it a bit, only needs to come out about 4mm

That's what she said...

Thought about painting it tan. Then thought about replacing it. Then thought about replacing it with something else and painting that flat green.

Does the front foot get close on them big bikes?

I haven't had any issues. I'm running 180mm cranks too. However I do ride left foot forward and x-up to the right. I'm too much of a puss to try barspins, so as far as I'm concerned the foot/tire clearance is good.

Did you get that checked out? Mine looked like that and I'd broken a bone and torn ligaments. Fuck whips.

I have not gotten it checked out, the swelling has gone down quite quickly as has the bruising. There is just a little resonating pain and swelling but overall its not too bad.

Was the pain terrible with the bone and ligament gone? because I'm not in all that much pain about a week later

Road the big wheel bike, and it's miles ahead of what I was riding before. Definitely pumped on it.

Oh yeah didn't think of that. I'm same left forward twist to right. Hop bars on a cruiser would be a sight.

And fuck rain!
Gun and knife show tomorrow and union rally Sunday. Ima try to get some ride time

Put that Tree wheel on and a new 2.1 Aitken. The hub is pretty meh, I like my mix better.

Got it assembled and tuned the brakes, then it started raining hard.

Found this Gt randomly in my garage, toptube gusset, downtube gusset, does anyone know what kind of gt is this? and is this the kind of frame i should keep in my garage?

Shes getting there. Sorted the narrow backend & moved the brake lugs today.

Cut the lugs off & removed brazed part of the nut as it was going to be Tig welded on. To gain the height back on the mount we welded the cut down mount to a nut (the same final height as before) & then moved the mounts 13mm closer to the seat tube (to where they should be)

No mounts

Mounts being welded on

New mounts on

Frame tidied up

Just need to spend a little more time rubbing it down & getting all of the rust off before i decided wether to clear coat it or not.

That came out really good. Leave the rust, adds character haha.
