Warm Weather

Now that the weather has been getting nicer it's been making me think about cycling. It's been over a year since I have been on a bike, and even then I haven't been on a non-fixed gear bike since 2005. Due to injuries from bad accident I was in back a couple years ago and the damage to my right knee during the Philly to Chicago tour I don't want to ride a fixed gear.

I have a really nice, old school English 3 speed frame. I have been wanting to strip it, paint it and rebuild it back to either another 3 speed, or a single speed coaster brake.


I have been putting in off for months, mostly because of laziness and a lack of ambition but also because it will cost a pretty penny. But now that the nice weather is poking through my desire to ride again has been coming back. I have built several bikes for myself, and a few for friends, but I have never done a picture diary of the work put into it. I think when I finally get the funds to start putting this bike together I will make sure to keep a pictured record of the metamorphosis.
