coaster brakes are wicked fun...
after beating this bike up for a while I broke the fork. replaced with a nice unpainted italian thing. i built it with 7 speeds, brakes, and northroad bars and gave it to my friend in san francisco, who lent it to someone who crashed it and cracked the top tube at the headlug. RIP. This frame was super light and a real noodle, but it got loved to death.

gnarly stem

i love that stem. sometimes the vintage stuff or the vintage styled stuff is the coolest (in my opinion). most of my builds have to be postponed because i'm always waiting on the right vintage cheap parts. oh yeah are those serfas grips? if they are you just got even cooler. i swear by those things.
