Tear Down, Build Up, Repeat

Always trying to make more room in the garage, Friday I tore down a bike I hadn’t been riding much lately. I stashed away the frame and as I was about to put away the wheels I got to thinking how good they’d look on a seafoam green frame I had stashed away.

So I built it up. This is a never ending cycle with me (no pun intended).

The frame and fork were originally a cheap Roadmaster mtb that I found at a dumpster a few years ago. I had stripped it, painted it and built it in a slightly different configuration and rode it quite a bit. Some time ago I tore it down and stashed the frame away.

Looking at this photo I notice I need to level the rear rack and flip the front wheel around.

The tires are 26×2.4 and barely fit between the stays. I can see this becoming an issue if I continue to ride it. Other parts include a Brooks saddle, Profile sprocket, plastic platform pedals, BMX stem and handlebars and I just happen to have some orange grips to match the wheels although a bit grungy.
