Spent the past 4 hours stripping it and sanding the chipped teal! Hope to paint it tomorrow!
I already have grips and a seat for it Aaron!

Plans for the build?
If I had room in my stable for another bike it would be a 26" 1X9.

Kinda. I have had my eye on this metallic bronze, similar to the Porsche GT3 wheels. I have been planning on painting my spare set of rover wheels (also from Aaron) the same color.

Not sure I will have it ready by then but I will load up Neil's bike if it is not. We are supposed to get rain tomorrow, fingers crossed we will be ok.

That looks great! Nice color and good work. I think your rims would look excellent in that color.
Brad
May 7th, 2012, 07:42 PM
Thanks! I was thinking satin black for rims. The back rim has rust on the spokes and the threaded ends.

I meant the spare rover rims would look great in that color! Black bike rims always look good. :thumb:

Yes it is! I love it but must sell it. I wanted to upgrade the Disco so I used savings which I need to replenish.
It will be listed on here exclusively prior to hitting CL.
Thanks for the compliments! It was quite a bit of work but taking that first ride felt amazing. My legs forgot what biking feels like. Quads are burnin'!
