This is the bike that started my foray into the vintage bike space! And my bike with the most miles. I beat on this thing real bad so it’s a 10 footer😂 Here’s some points to clear up questions.

-Leopard print is a vinyl wrap I did
-I sawed off the rear u brake mount and eyeball welded on some canti posts i cut off a broken frame (offset is way too high but it was my first time doing a canti swap 🤷‍♂️)
-that’s a derailleur hanger extender to accommodate the wider 8 speed cassette (Microshift 11-46 i think?) and it sort of works well
-still in winter mode in this picture (fenders) and the fenders are sks beaver tails that i added fenders stays to.
-brakes are just cheap ass shimano cantis i painted purple when i got bored one day.

This thing rides INCREDIBLY well and is such a hoot on Midwest trails. At the end of the day this is all you need on greens and blues around here, and it was 50 dollars originally on marketplace!

  1. That is a prime wrap job. Please tell me you’ve got some cougar clobber to go with that.
