Well after building the orange schwinn for my friend, I'm finally embarking on a build for myself this time.
I'm building this bike for a dual purpose commuter/trail bike. I've got decent condition gravel and dirt trails around my house that I plan riding this on. Then of course as my everyday go to the local 7-11 transport - especially with astronomical gas prices and a car with a horrendous wiring job in progress.
Picking up the bike this weekend from my parents house, its an 18spd nonamer frame, needs a rear wheel.
Plans: Grubee GT5, New HD rear wheel w/ stronger spokes. Possibly repainting the frame a fancy color, planning on getting a rear fender and definitely a rear rack.
I'll be posting photos as soon as my supply pile grows and accumulates, and I'm hoping this spring to take a week long trek with a friend of mine across the countryside of PA. So now i've got till about late april to ensure its solid, reliable, and broken in for a long haul.
Stay tuned folks.
