Finally riding a big boys bike
Sweet Miq. Lots of gears & lots of brakes... ideal. I bet your bike zooms along.

This was my 'ultralight' klunker project- 29# as pictured. Also I wanted one that I could use with a qr truck bed mount.
Bendix instead of Morrow. Alloy SR stem. Vintage campy front hub. The later, narrower Araya 7x mtb rims. 4130 tubing bent by a friend in the aerospace industry (a little 'government work' as we used to say) and built into a fork by Mark Nobilette. 3 pc BB conversion with a mid 80s Specialized crankset. Things like that...
Swapped to the usual Cheng Shin knobbies later, still under 30# but just barely!

Look Ma, No Hands!
Just finished! Before and after.
It's a Chain Bike Corp frame, but I don't know the year. Guess would be late 1970s or very early 1980s. Shimano MX hub. Came to me pretty beat up and as the runt of the litter in a 5 bike cleanout purchase. I decided to try my hand at painting in addition to the usual cleanup work. Pretty happy with the results, although on close inspection there are a couple boo boos from teachable moments. I was using the Spray.Bike rattle cans and I found them easy to work with and pretty fun too. All that's left to do is a coat of wax.
Parts are all OG but I did have to replace the Ross chainwheel (bent) with a NOS Wald that I think looks better anyway. And of course the chain, tires, tubes, rim strips and other wear items were replaced. Pretty in love with the twin reflector in the rear. As a kid of the Top Gun era, I would have thought they were like afterburners.
I have the chainguard still but I think I like it better without.
