I'm going to file this squarely under "I can't believe that worked"

Spoiler: I also used a mallet

And when it breaks I can just fix it with my welder!

My local co-op I volunteer at happened to have a nearly identical frame donated a week later. From the ashes…

Fortunately, this is a screw on top bottle 😄

But I was curious to see if you could open a bottlecap with these and they just won’t fit in those metal do-hickeys on the back of the seat.

Come on Brooks redesign these a little larger!

What's left of my Shimano Zee

Classic teachable moment

New to me used wheelset. Noticed the freehub was moving a bit strangely. Dual inner bearings were exploded. All bearings split in half 😅🫠

This poor bike.

Literally Justridingalong for hundreds of kilometers. These Maguras are toast, they're probably full of sand from the previous owner. They barely, just barely retract from the rim.

Maybe time for some new friends, bud.

I am thinking about buying a 0mm offset, flexy seatpost and there is one on ebay.

I bought a used bike of marketplace. I knew it was in rough shape, but I never really tested the fork. The guy said "I only use in lockout mode"

This fork does not have a lockout and I had to use a jack to get the lowers off.
