goose cleaned up awesome, needed that seat! Lovin the CW bars!!!

 

 

My cruiser came over the weekend while i was away, super psyched to put it together. Waiting on some blue 24" skyways i bought for it to come in the mail. Gonna probably keep the bars, but im gonna have em painted to match the frame.

Also got a set of blue se pads for the ripper, looks better already. Found the same sticker set it has now online, but may try and find a blue set thats closer to the padset. Need the landing gear decals too so i may just have to settle.

Oh my bad... I thought we were posting bikes in war zones - Yearz style...

 

So that's just a semi knocked down building in your hood...?

 

 

 

Walked out the front door of work last night to a tip truck with a green canopy with some shiny bits underneath... hmmm

Rang the number on the side of the truck... How much for the bike... 20 bucks... OK

Drop outs are nearly perfect and the wheels (for another build) are deadset straight.

benzonite torch, heat that bitch up for a couple minutes hose it down with cold water and repeat... after a few cycles take a pipe wrench to it should pop out with surprisingly little fuss.

 

 

Had the same problem and gave up trying to use penetrating oil and other methods... someone told me about this, gave it a shot, BOOM first try pulled it right out. And my shit was STUCK believe me.

And that my friends is why he's called "cracksmoka" Light'n up.

 

 

Steel post - drill a hole - slide in a rod - twist away.

 

Alloy post - draino to eat the alloy but won't mess the frame.

 

 

I am lucky enough NOT to have come across one yet.
