2-22-2 Wheels.

White wall Saturd-day.

Picture me rollin'.

New....uni air filter, handlebars, internal throttle slider, used nos exhaust.

More torque in higher gears, faster off the start.

 Time to clean.

Ugh.

 Release.

 Repent.

Repeat.

 Scrutinizer. 

 Non-motor white wall.

 Where did daddy go?

 Needs a little more love.

 Snobby smell of spring.

Summer.....Time......to start rebuilding this bike.

Slowly but Slowly.

New chain for the rusty tank bicycle.

Mozzy is not amused.

 Finally got some wheels in my size!

Let's see if they flat-spot.

Tinker Spring is coming soon.

 I had it all together...then did it again.

Those perches have to go on first, dumby.

Rusty old bike is done-ish.

Still needs lubed in a few places but I want to ride!

White walls on white walls.

Gloss hell and bicycle blacking.

Expo purchase.

Why not, right?

 The insight headlights just didn't shine like they used to..

 Until....!!

I guess? 

I didn't really put that much effort into it... a 20 degree garage and an empty belly will do that to you.

 Wire wheel shine......

 ......vs metal gloss magic.

The picture doesn't do it justice.

I can see myself in the finish...

 Getting the old tank bicycle ready for the weather we might get this week.

Forgot to get a chain.

Der.

 Back has to match the front has to painted and sealed.

Don't judge me.

Trading summer for snow.

Bondo and heat don't like each other.

 Softens right up.

Emblemは可能だ！

 Opportunity underneath.

This tank just got more exciting.

 This is what they looked like stock.

Bicycle gets some grease.

 True time.

New spokes too?

 Good friends are hard to find.
