What did you do to your bike today? (v2)
« Reply #2610 on: January 02, 2013, 11:41:52 PM »
Trimmed my race cruiser bars down from 27.25 to 27 (picky I know, but I had a grinder, so it only took like 2 minutes. Tried to modify my stock post to let my seat sit at a better angle, but it didn't help much. Cut my post down. For my street bike I got my new 6mm profile bolts installed and a friend let me barrow an Odyssey Senior seat since my old seat was held together by tape. Velo needs to hurry up and get Profile's new shipment of seats to them so I can get my butt ont he fat seat i want.

Took it all apart to raw and polish my frame, then got sidetracked and never did it. I'll probably just end up building it up again tomorrow.

Same here, haha

Put on a blackwall FAF-K to replace the tanwall on the front of my bike. Swtiched seats/posts, trying out a Fly Dos15 Tripod seat since I have had a post laying around for a while. Also got a few new videos, some Empire stuff, and saved $20 thanks to their Holiday discount codes.

I just built it back up and went to the local indoor for some fun. I finally learned how to do a [shitty] table, so that felt nice, haha

With enough lube and brute force, anything is possible.

For 3 days my 4x4 bars have been soaking in both aircraft and regular stripper. I've been scraping at bits barely getting any off. but I just want this bastard to boil over now. I haven't spent this much time stripping a part since my 41 thermal cranks bitd. Fuck my ass.

I was going to spray my united red but I decided to ride it instead.

Found a cool stencil down the shed and sprayed that on after my knee decided it was over riding.

Odyssey uses ridiculous paint. It took me forever to strip my Lumberjacks.

Actually rode it without freezing my ass off. It's going to be in the mid to upper 40s the whole week, sucks I have work.

Looked at it briefly while at my brothers. He went searching for it at fire stations, they took it after my accident.
