Back to life

The first piece of the pie.
When I showed this to Jesse she was like "you payed how much for this? It looks like something you could make in the wood shop." I always thought wood would be a good thing to use for forks. If you got the right kind like hickory or oak, and had the grain just right I think it would work.

Man those look skinny. Returning to a geared road bike will be different. Those pauls are like something you would find on a chariot from Ben Hur.
For the conversion back to road I swapped out the bash ring and 42T ring for a 53/38. I also had to lengthen the chain and put my front D on.

Slapped some Bottle cages on and I'm set for a 100miler.

  2. I'm ordering the Frame around March 2nd. Rims and spokes are on the way. I'm hoping to be on the bike by middle March. Fingers crossed.
