Found out the back end of my Ruben frame is slightly twisted. My friend gave me a mirra co black pearl frame but I'm too lazy to swap. Fuck it

thanks for the suggestions, guys. really appreciated.

profile sprockets won't fit on the 22mm cranks that i plan to get as soon as the 2013 ones are available. and to be honest, i'm a bit sick of seeing the imperial on just about every other build. also, you guys were right about profile stuff being expensive in germany.

i think i will go with a rennen sprocket. they look good and are only $50 shipped.

Twisted back end isn't goint to hurt anything
It's a fucking Ruben frame man! Keep going on it.

I'd rather ride on a slightly twisted ruben then a black pearl any/every day.

Looked at it and decided I want to get a new t1 hickerson or a solid king cobra. Then rode it.

I haven't done shit with my bike today, but now I'm thinking about taking some time out for a lunch-break quickie at the skatepark.

i bought a 39t T1 Gower sprocket for it

Thought about going back to taller bars with more upsweep. Looking at the Ody GY3 bars, because they look compact and not gigantic.

Does it have the ghost pads on it?

I just can't imagine it being tweaked to mess up brakes with adjustable pads. You might have to get creative but it should still work.

New frame isn't done yet, so I have been tinkering with old stuff to keep me occupied.
I finally put the correct 1" threaded fork on my Shorty and got the stem in the mail today, so this is what I am working on right now-
