Would love to see some detail shots of the current paint scheme. Was the red/magenta color the original color? Or do you periodically repaint it?

The red was the original colour, and I had the frame soda blasted. I then used paint pens and had a few friends decorate the frame. It turned out pretty awesome, and I'm happy with the result although the frame isn't a great geometry, so I will be replacing it soon.

Just bought a pair of hb-14s. Haven't ridden them yet. How do you like em?

I've ridden them a bunch, I haven't ridden enough different kind of "rims" to be able to tell a difference. They do feel lighter and softer (due to the long spoke length) than my H+Son SL42s.

are you going to take the inner chainring off?
Posted over 11 years ago
I'm going to take both chainrings off and put on a (more than likely) Blacksipre Monoveloce chainring. I think it will have to be on the inside to maintain the proper chainline.

well hopefully it'll work. ready for the finished result, my man.

The chainline of the White Industries is perfect for the outside chainring. It will look good.

Thanks. I have yet to ride it (besides around the block) hahaha. I rebuilt the front wheel with a different hub, and now I'm contemplating replacing the frame for a frame with a better geometry.
