Well I spent my day off yesterday tearing the mountain cycle the whole way down... See the photos. I dropped the main frame and seat stay off at TPC to get them to box a bit of the frame and also fix the seat stay.

The Trek is looking sweet!

Those are some scary cracks on the Mountain Cycle, though...

I'd hate to see the dents and cracks in the rider...

It will be stronger than new when I am done. Some of the fabbing has already started.

Some small updates. The frame is coming along and I expect to get it back next week, reinforced. I took the lowers to the fork to our body shop to have them refinished in Porsche Speed Yellow. I am going to go with a old Lotus 7 yellow, green, black and silver livery. Should be pretty cool.

Both are cool finds. I have my sisters Univega (circa 1990) mountain bike in my basement. Haven't ridden it in years. I should take it to a shop and have it tuned up.

Did not read/could not read! Our copy ended up in a snow drift! Dried it out enough to see the pretty pictures, AND GEEZZ-O-FLIP, some people can't take a compliment

I thought it was pretty good writing this time. My sarcasm was lost in my typing, my apologies.
