I'm rereading this thread and everybody seems to be pretty nice here, you ought to be a little more appreciative.
because of the genuine hostility I read, and felt when I read some of those posts, you guys need to relax, seriously
and I did thank you guys, wow,..sorry I didn't include a deposit to your bank acct., I'll remember that the next time.
ok back to the bike,...the canti studs will be off sometime this week (I can't do bar spins whatever) when I can find time at work to use the die grinder with the coolant set up, then I'm just gunna toss a down and dirty 30 minute silver metallic paint job on it (hope it duzzent suck) cuz the van halen special just isn't me.
the fork is a tange cr-mo fork for 700C wheels my LBS had on the shelf ($30)
it rides MUCH better, and I really like it.
I'll post more pics when I get em
