Re: Thor's New DD!! Rollin on 27's biznitch!

Ok, so here I am whoring up my own thread, but I thought I'd update while I was thinking about it. I got quite a bit done today... I got the rear wheel hub rebuilt, gear selectors mounted, cables for the derailleurs run, derailleurs mounted, rear wheel 1/2 way straightened, and chain lengthened for use in all gears. All I have left to do is replace some of the chain (didnt realize that there was two different sizes, 1/2 of it is wide and 1/2 of it is narrow), adjust the derailleurs and rear brake, and the rest is cosmetic. I'm picking up another bike probably on Monday, for either my brother or one of two friends looking for a road bike depending on who it fits. Only problem is the bike is 18 miles away with one bad tire and I dont think I have a ride all the way up there. My solution is to either A) catch an express bus up there with my wheel to replace the bad one with and ride it home or B) bike up there, semi dismantle the other bike, strap it to my back, and ride back home. We'll see how that goes. I would post up some new pics but the bike is dirty as hell, so tomorrow when I finish it I will take some new pictures out side to show just how much I be blingin.

Build on hold until I get a good paying job, either in school or once I get out. At that time a full tear down and complete rebuild should be in order.

The Purple People Eater will ride again... January 2011 can't come soon enough.
