what was that? is that all there is? who is this? this is it.

I get to work on a lot of bikes but I don't usually get to see who they end up with. I just have to visualize a potential utility cyclist or commuter or weekend warrior. But this little project is for a kid I know that has a birthday coming up in February,  so it's getting a bit more attention. The derailleur hanger was bent a full bubble off plumb, which is fairly common, as you can imagine, on used 24 inchers.  It's also getting new cables & housing, new brake pads, new chain. new levers, nearly new grips and a gently used 7-speed grip shift. The new 24 x 2.6 tires make the 11 inch frame look wicked cool. This bike will soon be shredding the trails and beaches of Whatcom County.

those 2.6 tires barely fit beneath the cute little v-brake calipers. After some wear and tear on those brand new knobby knobs it won't be an issue at all
