The beater/bar bike/lock downtown bike is nearly complete. Couldn't salvage the shweet anodized blue/green cantis that were on it, unfortunately. But I am no longer running a front brake and rear derailer only I also ditched the SOFTRIDE stem with an old suntour XC stem. Took the gf's son out on our soupy trails today and got a little muddy.


The tires are ridiculous 2.35" cruiser tires... and I love them haha(They are probably technically too wide for the rims also, but no problems yet, and it's meant to be a slow goer). Decent footprint for slow, recreational off roading. Nice suspension effect for the rocks and potholes, not bad rolling resistance on the pavement etc... GF asked me "What's wrong with your tires?"
I just need a rack set up and I think it's complete.
