Then he said, "This is going to be an adventure." I said, "That's the point." He said, "That's a long trip. I hope I'm ready for it." I said, "We'll get you some earplugs. Then you'll be insulated from all the screaming and swearing coming from the back of the bike and you'll be just fine."
523 grams removed with the kickstand.
488 grams saved with a front wheel swap.
1011 grams lighter,
This bike's gonna fly up the hill!!!
