Finally, bike porn
Well after last fall I decided to rebuild my old outlook mtb. It was white. I stripped it, primed and repainted it flat black. I bought all used components from ebay or recycled cycles in seattle. The only new parts are the bb, fork, freewheel, and brakes, the ders are used shimano xt, I changed the freewheel from a 6 to an 8, and finally its tuned up and ready for its first test.

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

You have to change your sig now......a black bike ain't pale!
Looks good though, and I hope it rides as nice as it looks!

Actually, I changed a couple of things since the photo was taken, the rear light is now off the back of the rack, and I moved the handlebars around a bit.....
