I decided that I want to change the color of one of my bikes last week. I found a frame on Fleabay on Monday, purchased it and, thanks to the wonders of local pickup, had it on Friday. On Saturday while volunteering at my local co-op (they have workstands inside which is much warmer than my garage), I stripped all the parts off one bike, swapped them over to the other bike and had it road worthy and rideable in less than 6 hours...which included helping 4 people work on their bikes at the same time. It went from this



To this





My co-op even had rubber donuts in the colors to match the decals



It's even been ridden twice to work this week.
