At this point, I'm not sure what I'm going to do with her. My original intention was to swap everything over to the new build, but about all I can really use are the bottom bracket and cranks. The frame worries me a little because it's a bonded frame and I'm a pretty big guy. It's not creaking or noodly or anything that would indicate she's coming apart. On the other hand, the last thing I want to have happen is a sudden failure while spinning madly downhill. My other problem is; I'm a little bit bike-poor. My garage is full of bikes to the point it's embarrasing sometimes. Right at the moment, there are 12 complete, ridable bikes and 6 framesets. The new build will make 13 and as we know, that is an unlucky number... So, I either need to hurry up and acquire a 14th, or one has to go...
Thanks for all the compliments on my rattle can paint job!
