Finally riding a big boys bike
Thank you very much for the compliment. I like it too and going to keep it. I’m not a very athletic looking Lance Armstrong and wasn’t sure if people would think I were an enthusiast riding that thru the park or if I were some vagrant on a bike I found in a dumpster lol!!! I was surprised how those wheels cleaned up with some 0000!!! I’m glad you noticed via the photograph!!!I like your bike. You did a great job on the wheels, in the pictures they look brand new. That patina look is an acquired taste, it is a nice bike and I think it’s a keeper. You said it rides nice and at the end of the day that is what is most important. Keeper!
One thing I need to check on is a clicking sound I hear every revolution on the crank. I’m reading I may have left the bearings too loose???
I am also wondering what I can do with that yellow seat. I have a sheat of black faux leather I can try to adhere as a cheap “reupholster job”. It looks to be a plastic surface and not sure if it is paintable.
