TIME A.T.A.C.

44/18

I've ridden this bike nearly every day, rain or shine, for a year & a half, and I've now repainted it twice, with two different color schemes. Originally teal and white, the first repainted was black and hot rod orange with a white head tube. When that paint got sufficiently beat up, I repainted it again to what you see here.

It's also gone through many configuration changes - from SKS fenders to now Berthoud stainless steel, many different handlebars, and a front rack which will eventually come back.

I was just wondering what type of paint you used to paint the bike? I recently did my own paint job as well, nice bike.

Awesome bike! May I ask where you got your crank and bashguard? Would love one for the commuter I'm building.

The crank is just some old

Submitted by zugsterbags on 08/09/2006.

The crank is just some old Sugino thing - the bashguard is just a chainring which I filed the teeth off of using a Dremel.
