Grease is overrated. Use spit. Or just let everything grind down and break.
Just kidding, lube that jank up. And when you get some lube from the bike shop, send me some so i can get this rat out of my chain.

haha my bike and wtp are the exact same, just different colours. I plan to do a whole bunch of mods though. It's acctually already started. I took off the front brake, I put my old fit grips on it, I'm putting my fit flow bars on it when I get my Badger bars, I'm getting a better suspention fork, and painting the rims black, and the plastic parts I might put neon orange tiger stripes or something hahah. I'm also going to see if I can put more links in the chain and move the wheel back more cause it loops out so easy.

This is a GT race bike I had gotten not to long ago thanks to a friend of mine for free. It's all stock and close to new.
This is my list of changes I want to do on the bike -
Add a new seat, black
Change the paint to a glossy black or a dark maroon (keeping the bold GT letters on the frame)
Add a pair of pegs to one side of the bike
Remove all that Velcro stuff
What do you all think?
My problem is that paint. I want it to look professional without having to send it to a shop; paint it at home. Does anyone have a good detailed guide on how to do this, or know where I can find one?

That bike won't handle pegs.
