Finally got around to doing some TLC maintenance on my daily rider. I took it apart, gave it a fresh coat of paint, re-spoked the back wheel, added a bunch of new parts, and swapped the calipers for ones with square, beefier pads, among other repairs.
It still needs a new seat, grips, a chain cover to match the new color, a crankset, and tires. (I’ve got removable pedals, I just need to paint them.)
Number things (if you wondering)
1. Dual brake lever on the left, since I’m left-handed
2. Cellphone holder for when I can actually play Pokémon GO on the bike.
3. Custom coffee cup holder, solder a loop with a notched hole to hold it.
4. Tool kit cuz shit breaks yall
5. Custom adapter for the clam brake.
6. Long Allen wrench to adjust the brakes. This is my second one; the first was left behind during a roadside repair this one doesn’t have a loop to secure it, hence the “square thingy
7. 💩 bag container
8. Custom camera mount, a piece of pipe welded to the rack.
