my reasoning is to clean up the front end of the bike a bit and gain some experience with like things. I would love to get into frame building but diving in with little money leaves me in a tough place. If it is not safe I don't want to be pushing my luck as I do not own a car so this is my transportation.
If I could just find a builder near by that would let me apprentice with them I would want to start chopping and grinding at my own bike haha.
