My first flip!

i sold my first ever flip today, it was a Shogun 300 i got from a CL seller for 20 bucks. re-sold for $140-- new tires, new cables and housings, new bar tape (i know, i know--i need some practice there) repacked hubs, carefully cleaned rims, carefully cleaned and lubed components, which are all original, afaik.

anyway its not a super high quality bike or anything, but i put alot of effort in, i learned alot, i had an excuse to buy new tools! surprisingly the BB and headset were in killer shape, so no need to do anything there. i have another old Shogun and the same seems to be the case.

not super different in the end, but here's some pics, before:





and after:






thanks for looking!
