My winter ADD got the best of me again today. Swapped my tires out and put on a Dirt Monster and Momentum. Also took the Duo grips off my cruiser to put on my bike and replaced them with Fit OG grips.

It depends on if the hub is originally anodized or painted/powdered.

I also did my elites the other day.
the original ugly green.

New pretty & polished!

let us say it's anodised (I'm doing some stuff soon that I would like to be polished, not just raw.)

Found some primo jewels!

Re-laced my newly re-built Reverse hub. It feels great to go fakie again.

Put my new Eclat seat & post on the custom FBM & a sweet Empire sticker of Bonnie on the flatland frames head tube!

Oh Topsey I ordered the seat and they sent me the new brown and black one direct from the US distro SBS. I was super bummed. I am returning that one but I guess they are out of the dark brown ones now. I found one on Amazon that I am hoping is legit I guess I will find out.

New stem dropped my bars a bit so I took a half link out to compensate (it'll work, I swear) think I'm going to cut my bars down a tad too. Awesome comes in a new more compact package this year.
