I made a custom neck tube badge for the clunker, I have it bent to the radius of the neck tube diameter and polished up, but forgot to snap a pic. I’ll take one tomorrow when I get it mounted to the frame.

But for the real fun! I got to take her out on our first date this morning! Rides pretty good for an old anchor pieced together for about $100. I’m changing the rear cog tomorrow as ~83 gear inches proved to be a little tiring by the end of the ride. I’m not as tough as I used to be. Gonna drop down to ~72 and see how it feels.
Some things need slight adjustment still but that’s how she goes. Really enjoyed building this bike for the 4th or so time
Gonna throw on a set of gators I have. The old freedom branded thick’s bring back memories, but? I’ll have to feel the difference I guess

On a a side note tomorrow is my Bday and I’m looking to treat myself. I’ve been looking at frame sets for my next build, but nothing is jumping out. I miss my old 722 leader a lot, so if anyone has any suggestions holler! Any leads on nice components too!

I was going to start a frame build, but I think I want to build up a nicer bike before I jump into that, then I can transfer most of the nicer components to my custom frame.

Also, the golden appearance on the rear wheel is just the sun reflection
