    Yeah. I've asked DBF what time it is...while sitting in front of my computer.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    You guys will love this. I bought the bike for fifty bucks, it has literally sat in this guys garage doing nothing for all these years. It is like a brand new bike. Had it checkout out at the bike shop and aside from a few loose bolts the thing is pristine. Got a beautiful green MB to take to the park now.

    Here's the new bike. I opted for toe clips for her as this is the bike I plan to ride to the park the run the trails, so it needed to be trail shoe friendly and carrying 2 pairs of shoes is annoying. I added some bottle cages and a rear rack. I tweaked the derailleurs a little now they are perfect. I'm so proud of myself for learning to adjust derailleurs. I don't know why but this picture doesn't want to blow up?

    So... I'm riding my new bike and thinking...geez my butt is hurting more than normal even with a different saddle. I'm pretty sure the rails are supposed to be strait and not squished out on one side . Could explain why my butt and back have been so friggin sore.

    mine had the stock saddle and it is AWFUL! I tested out the bike for the first time in years this summer and realized why I had a hard time riding distance on that bike. Need to get a new saddle for it.
