Meet Scar

[Zen]

I don't take trash talk from Catriona and we often have fist fights.
Just another day.

Catriona, Scar is smoking! Those Trek 800 series frames hold up well as commuter/beater bikes. I have my Xtracycle built on a Trek 820 and I love it.

Oh, well, carry on then! I thought this was a fist fight between Scar and Miss Plum. My misunderstanding. By all means, beat each other senseless!

Great bike!

I love how you matter-of-factly say "I switched this, I changed that"; what does your spare parts box look like?

Wait... Spare parts are supposed to be able to fit in just one box???

Unfortunately, mine stopped being able to do that a while back. There are a lot of parts that I'm saving for various builds.

One of these days I'm making a touring bike. I have everything but the fork and possibly the frame scrounged.

I didn't have those tires in a box, but couldn't resist them once I saw them.

Scar was $80 on craigslist - the drive train looked mostly unused, it looks like the bike has moved with the family a couple of times - the teeth on the cranks have no wear - but I'm not sure how much wear old steel cranks showed?

The original seatpost was steel and the seat was huge - so I think I lost like 3 lbs off scar just switching those off. I needed a setback - but he was a funny 26.6 mm size.

I may one day buy him a longer stem.

I let her win when I want some pie.
