I installed my chromoly center axle. And said fuck the snow rain mix I'm gonna ride. So I went for a quik stroll through the park tried some pegless grinds and hit my knee and went home. Not riding it almost had me wanting to sell it but I got out there and loved being on it.

was 10 degrees this morning
decided not to ride it to work and drive.

That was at 6, it's now 12:20 and about 50 degrees.
Was going to switch to the bike after lunch, but I have to pay rent and go grocery shopping. It's supposed to be rainy through the weekend.

Shit.

I really want to see photos of this, as I always liked that Hamdog check.

Removed all the anodizing from the aluminum parts besides the wheels.
Gonna eventually strip everything so my bike looks like the terminator.

I did that to my road bike a ways back. Either chrome or raw on anything metal.

Fun project, turned out well too.

Finished spraying my forks and bars this morning. Will be reassembling later today.

Realized that my bars were way off center in my stem. Makes sense now that every time I manualed I leaned to the right haha.

I actually got to ride it today doing some hops and manuals. I took the meth bars off for a little bit today to actually ride with the Benny bars. After that I cut the meth bars down and put them back on. After dinner I'm going to the store to pick up some paint.

If you decide you don't want the Meth bars, let me know!!

I could swear I had a pic once the bars were raw and I had polished it all up a bit to make it more consistent, can't find it though!

Think I might do this again actually, well maybe....
