Got new tires for the big bike. One was perfect, the other was a big flimsy piece of shit that would not stay on the rim. Two tubes exploded. Bad day...

I stripped the paint off of my Fed 4pc bars. They were OxBlood red with sparkles. Now they are raw... with sparkles. The glitter or what ever the fuck didn't come off. Not sure if I like it, but I do think it's pretty funny.

My OCD got the best of me and I gave my frame a fresh coat of clear coat. Came out better than first time I did it.

I rode my bike n I kinda regret selling my s4. It's so much more nibbler than my cw, but not as good in the air. I hate tradeoffs.
That's WACC!

I'm thinking about throwing them on. I just wish I had a way to trim them down a bit.

I'll carry on the Glitter theme. Rebuilding my  FBM up clear with glitter looks better in natural sunlight

Going too try 31/10 on this  just have too build up a front wheel for it. and swap the seat post clamp out for a black animal one.

I recently bought a lathe and decided to make a few things for my tree hubs.
Firstly I made a 7075 T6 axle. I'm not going to use pegs on it

Stock chromoly axle and bolts

Front pegless cone hardware

Rear pegless cone hardware


I made an Eclat Pulse driver suit the tree hub.

I machined down the internal shoulder for clearance in the hub along with the outer face and replaced the bushings



I counterbored the cop and bottom of my stem as well.
