Hey - this was fun. Since the forum has been improved, search doesn't work for ****. Tabbing back for 39 pages to find a thread - priceless. Good job IB!

Anyway, a modest "before and after". This one was fished off of eBay as a frame-set, built into a bike, and left the farm for the Big City today.

Despite being cosmetically challenged it is a smooth riding little bike. It'll be right at home in the urban jungle.

Before:


After:
