Bike #1 is done! Not the prettiest bike on the block (well maybe my block) but it still rocks. The entire process was awesome, I’m not a painter and I understand that but for the first bike it’s alright. Next bike goes to the real painter and I have a whole lot of lessons learned.
Photo is highlighting the Brooks tape, courtesy of Scott, installed, all is straight and braking properly. The English(made in China) tape matches the French(made in France 1950′s) so it must be good.
