99% because I’m still waiting on a purple Crust front cable hanger. I improvised with an old one (too short) and a flexi-noodle for now. He’s a proud LSU grad, so I went with a little flare and used the tiger eye to cover a spot I had to strip rust from and couldn’t match paint to my liking. Sadly, he trusted his semi-estranged father to keep it in his shed at one point, but it was promptly left outside in the rain, heat, and occasional snow for over a year. So he asked me to rebuild it more like I have my personal bike while he was overseas for a few months. He does know about the purple and gold stuff, nor is he getting pictures beforehand, lol. Here’s the rundown-
