yea, ill see about that. and hell ive never run a chain guard, just a bandanna around my right ankle to keep my baggy pants of the 90s clear, haha.
i may also have to get new pedals, those and cranks i would go thrugh constantly. full metal pedals(not sure brand i had) and the 3 peice cranks stopped that)
so obviously, i do abuse bikes and im sure ill find the weak points, considering i ride off tables, cars, bleachers, concrete loading docks etc... lol. i just can't wait till i get home in sept and get to put it together and ride once again. ill be riding every day im home, thatll be some good physical fitness.
ill be sure to post pics of it completed and also of my Schwinn SuperStock, which i still may clean up a little. Come to think of it, i even have the HARO somewhere, i stripped it down for pool jumping years back. i still think its got one original white mags wheel on it. also, Then i know i got some other type of frame with frame stands in front of the sat of the top tube and by the rear tire, we pool jumped that ne too, haha. And for me now, new is always better.
thanks again for the link. And it is good to get away from redline, mongoose, and the other massive namebrands.
