I've been collecting parts for this for a while now, and just put it all together. Finished building the wheels last week. I painted the sidewalls of the rims before I built up the wheels. Only problem now is that there's a foot of snow on the ground. I've taken it out for a few rides, but I don't want it to get too fucked up before I get to ride in nice weather. I built this up to be as solid and long-lasting as possible, as it will be my everyday ride.
