Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I don't have "finished" pics, but here it was last winter in progress. I've since swapped out the seat post, put on matching tires and cut the steerer tube. Pretty cool bike. Thinking about peeling the decals off the wheels.

Same frame as the Gravity Liberty series. Your beater is nicer than my nice bike
