I'm getting a little more serious about this build...I really like how it's coming together. Yesterday I rode to the west side with my friend and picked up a seatpost, NOS grips (YETI's), axle spacers, and a cool puffy jacket that matches my black and neon Reeboks (accessories for this build). I found a working MTB lever in my parts bin, so I chopped the bars (only about 2 inches on each side) and installed the lever and grips. I'm also using my white NOS BMX saddle which looks awesome on the black seatpost.

List of things to do:

Strip paint off frame
Grind off braze-ons
Paint fork
Paint disc wheel white on the side I sanded (raw fiberglass isn't as cool as I thought)
Install tires on both wheels OR just jack my friend's hybrid wheelset (from an old Univega with nice knobbies he got for $15)

I might give this bike to a friend or just hang on to it and let people borrow it.

edit-I know you can't see the chainring much anyways, but is there anything I could/should do because it's rusty?
