well it's supposed to be spring here (just got 8" of snow), so I'm getting the bike ready for another riding season. I got the bike out and noticed surface rust forming on the bare metal near the welds. So I thought it was time I really finished this bike. I stripped all the parts off the frame, did some wire brushing and sanding, and slapped a couple coats of primer on it. Now I need to decide what color to paint it. Probably whatever color I already have enough of
.
I need to get better brake levers and a more conventional bike mirror. I'm going to put a better bottle holder on it too. I thought about redoing the tiller steering too, but no time for that. I have too many projects going.
