My commuter. I should probably take a picture with the Waterford fork I have on it now.

I tried to locate true tire paint, but apparently the stuff has been banned in like 47 states and is impossible to get.. so regular black enamel paint pen it was, and it actually worked great. Looks way better and has held up fine.

That never gets old. It's got to be one of my favorite bikes on the site.

Hey I always wondered about doing that myself. How's it look? Got any pics?

Hmm.. not really. I think this is the only pic I have of the bike with those wheels on it. You can't see it at all, though (any color difference is the brake track). I'll be in the garage tonight - I'll try to remember to get a closeup pic while I'm out there



Sorry about the white saddle..... trying to find something that fits AND looks good.
