Did a raw/gun blue fade finish on my frame. Turned out ok, not as nice as it did on my solid frame, or T1 SFA. Wondering if different tubing and their alloys react different too the bluing.

Went for a ride last night, noticed that my Fly cranks had developed profile wobble on the right arm. Spindle bolt tight arm still wobbles. took them apart today. cleaned everything up. degreased the spindle and cranks arm. coated everything with Red loctite. I'm hoping it gets me thru the month or 2 of riding. Get new cranks in the winter

Deanodized the blue of my solid sprocket. Tried "aluminum black" from birchwood casey (like gun bluing for alum). Looks ok, it probably would of looked better getting 2 jars then putting the sprocket into soak. rather than wiping it on like you do with bluing.
fixed a flat , and installed an S&M steel hubguard on my other bike
