I keep thinking the U lock is dangling from your saddle.

Admittedly it is not a very well framed photo

I already roached the top tube decal absent mindedly hanging the bike in the stand, I guess the clear coat over it hadn’t hardened all the way. Oh well.

I knew I would end up in the weeds if I tried routing all the dyno wiring through the frame/fork so zip ties were the order of the day. Looks like shit, works fine, I’m tired of stripping and soldering and heat shrinking and zip tying, and I’m done messing with it.

One day I may have a shop cut the steerer to a more suitable length if I need to get the bars lower, but again I’m done messing with it.

I’m not sure how I feel about the basket light mount. Shouldn’t cast any shadows but I bet it’ll bounce around a lot. Guess I’ll find out tonight.

Guyshoe: I have a new front wheel and I greased up the rear hub ratchet mechanism and now this thing is just perfect. Like literally, perfect. No lingering doubts about fit, no weird noises, perfectly silent and smooth drivetrain, and maintaining 18mph on any surface effortlessly. It’s glorious. I like nice bikes!

Yeah, I need more. I had a really cool Tarck sticker on the last frame. And I need the tarck logo sticker

Here’s my shitty Diamondback in front of my very average garage door.

I actually love this bike, easily one of my favorites ever.

The top tube protector I put on the first day still works and has saved me from many dents.

More than that… It has a pike with only five rides on it though. Longer top tube feels great. I think it’s my new favorite bike
