What's up with the silver chainstays only on the right side?

The paint there wears down anyways due to chainslap from the dérailleur, so you put a cover on it anyways. Alot of people just use an old tube, I actually have a proper one.

It's still a weird-looking frame to me.

Function over form anybody?

Possibly. But usually form has a lot to do with function. I think you meant strength over beauty, or something of the likes.

I still don't get why you would cover it. It just looks uglier. And if you cover it what does it matter what the paint looks like?

so whats better?
quantity or quality?

Chuck Norris says neither.

chuck norris can sukkadik

so could you. he just chooses not to.

bet he doesnt.


in fact, i bet its what he's doing right now

it's possibility... but I would bet he is not since there are so many other things he could be doing at the moment.

like sukkadik-ing?

yes.

Did a little work on it:

You realize painting rubber speeds up dry rot, right?

are those v-brakes?

Is that brake cable on the top of the toptube?

No (but I do now) yes, and yes, in that order.

Old-school Dyno Air, with a few updated pieces and parts to keep it rollin'. I ride this thing everywhere.

that's odd.

Not really...

Most frames with V-brakes have the cable guides on the side or top of the tt.

I'm just not used to seeing a brake cable on the top of the toptube.

I'm not used to brake cables anymore

I'm getting there. I need to see if a straight cable works magic... if not, brakes are coming off.
