  22. Could you paint your own frame ? 20 Mar 2010 16:10 Fair enough, had to ask. Removing the frame is beyond my mechanical abilities and I have spent enough cash this year putting the bike back together from my fall last year so I think I will reconsider having a shop re…

  30. It sure is a busy off season ! 2 Feb 2010 01:19 BAH ... not good news I am afraid ! :pissed: Turns out the front fender is cracked too so that will delay everything while I source a reasonably priced replacement. Additionally upon closer examination the forks do…
