Old barn find I breathed new life in because gravel bikes are too expensive so fuck it I'll make my own.

Just waiting for the last parts since i lost some plastic thingamabobs I need for the STIs.

Sometimes I think I should keep my bike shop like surgically clean so I don't lose the small, crucially important plastic bits in the mess of parts and old boxes but alas, if your personal shop doesn't look like you could outfit a frame with parts you find on the ground, is it even a shop?

    Just got an electric bike recently, been really enjoying it so far, although I managed to bend the back rim a bit somehow :/ planning to take it to a bike shop to have the wheel trued sometime this week, and maybe get fenders installed too.

      If you have old tyres or tubes keep them around to extend your fenders with flaps because there is a global conspiracy going on to make bike fenders not long enough. Just strap some on there with some zip ties, doesn't look great, does the job great
