Yeah crazy heavy even after removing some of the stuff. It's like the down stem is stick in the fork from being there for so many yeaRs. Trying to keep it cheap as possible so I can go on short rides with my girlfriend on her cruiser cause she loves the outdoors. Plenty of flat trails. What do you guys think of me repainting the frame. I like to do everything my self unless i need someone else who knows a lot about bikes. can I use the same sprocket ?
