The problem I have is my beater bike got a new drive train. Then new wheels (one of which I built myself around a two speed kickback shift hub). Then it got a new coat of paint and one of my older Brooks saddles. Ultimately it's not exactly a beater anymore. Actually, since I've had the frame since the early 90's I'd be loathe to part with.
Guess I need a new, old, beater. :-) On Fri, Jan 11, 2013 at 9:49 AM, Peter Morgano <uscpeter11...@gmail.com>wrote: > Not to be a fly in the ointment but this again makes me thankful I have a > beater bike.
