you gonna add a turbo tho this ride too?

I'd say put the turbo on the Integra behind it Seem like pretty good work there, but I would've taken out the BB and headset bearing cups. Stay tuned, I just bought a new frame also, and I am thinking of polishing my Cannondale Jekyll's frame, alredy got the aircraft remover ready!

p.s.-how does that stuff feel on your skin

diff_lock2

Do you think you will need a new chain?

Also you stripped the paint with the BB on, what if that stuff gets in there? what is the new color going to be
?

its all about all motor.

i'm pretty much a noob when it comes to bikes, just got into the game about a month ago and wasn't thinking about taking off the BB, but the headset i couldn't take off, any tips? do i just have to use a lot of force?.. i have a nice green red and yellow chris king headset going on it..

i stripped my old rims back in the day with no gloves and it burned like hell, so i wore gloves this time.. hah

i have no clue if i need a new chain.. im hoping everything will just swap over, from what i heard though i might need different length brake lines.. hopefully thats all.. and the BB, it's because im a noob haha i should have taped it off.. ill do that in the paint process.

Quick_Torch C5

Yeah, it's typically pressed in. I'd probably try to use a long punch and a hammer to tap it out

old and new

GREAT JOB, I'm impressed

do you know what the make of the frame is? looks like it might be an old schwinn

ilovemyhonda

thanks


hopefully it's not an old schwinn haha. the guy i bought it from told me it was a supergo access frame, medium size.

anyone looking to buy a specialized stumpjumper frame? i even have this really cool brand new i believe its a dkg seat post clamp. i bought it and it doesnt fit my frame, looking to get 10 bucks for it (what i paid)
