Hey folks--
Haven't been posting much lately. I did sorta finish my '88 MB/2 commuter project, after like 2 1/2 years. I moved some stuff to Google Photos, and I suppose I'll just put a link to the album here, because I have all the pics there. I hope it works, and I hope you enjoy looking at my project, such as it is.
I had fun with it. Did sandblasting myself, and made a headset spacer. Did a couple (beginner) leather projects, making my own top tube and chainstay protector. I used a tall Technomic to get the bars where I wanted, so I needed the top tube protector to be safe. Used a couple decals I bought from JR at VeloCals, and also made my own vinyl cut decal in a makerspace at school. For where I live, this might be the perfect all-rounder-- good for commuting, gravel-gliding, and general good times. I'll add some fenders at some point. I have a nice velo-orange 650B set I could easily re-radius to 26".
Thanks to [MENTION=391445]malcala622[/MENTION] for the SCR5 levers, [MENTION=260407]jeirvine[/MENTION] for scoring the fenders for me at the yard sale, and [MENTION=108582]RobbieTunes[/MENTION] for the front derailleur (although none may remember at this point, this project has taken awhile!). Other than that, this wasn't a 'fussy' build. Just parts-bin stuff.
Thanks for looking, and I hope the album link works!
