Sat around and admired it.

Earlier in the week I painted it, trued the wheels, cleaned everything up, regreased all of the threads, relubed the brake cable, patched the rear tube, and put on a new sprocket and seat. Every 3 months or so I take about a week long break from riding and lifting. Regardless of whether I'm feeling beat up and sore I feel like it's good to mentally check out from pushing myself.

It looks good now and feels solid but in 3 weeks it's gonna feel like a mushy piece of shit and look like it too.

Still trying to sort flat 3's, it's haunted me for years now.

Up to probably 5 in 20 are legit, 5 more are complete fuck ups and the last 10 are tire tap huckfucks.

someday.

Yesterday I rode the fuck out of a 6ft backyard mini with it, but I've only moved it out of my car today, unfortunately.

Built up my S4 after trying out a 21" Gypsy for about a week. After building it back up I realized why I haven't changed frames in over 3 years

My profile hub guard wallowed out in my mix hardware. I ripped apart a red bull can and made a shim. Seems fitting right? Always a shim involved when profile is present on your cassette.

Post some pics! We are the 21.25 Morsecode bros. I'm pretty sure there were only two or three of them made in this size, removable mounts only.

EDIT: And there was a single brakeless 21.25 as well.
