Bumping this. Been a long time since I bumped this. Well bike is up and riding. I broke it for about 2 months just got it fixed today.

New tires, F uped paint , Cut break taps off, All new bearing and other small crap.

Plans- New paint. Thinking about Flat Amy green with black bars and fork.

Why would you cut the brake tabs off? It's definately going to take a bit of a toll on the rear triangle's structural integrity, that's why when guys take them off, you see them cut them at the bottom of the threading and not the entire mount off. Is that JB weld on top of it? I hope you don't loop out hard and get tossed harder because your triange colapses.

I'd definately cop a chain tensioner and toss that on there, too. Or at least do the old hockey stick trick.

you should probably have brakes on that thing. I plowed some kid without brakes on my old schwinn, he flew out between two buildings and he got rocked hahaah.

I haven't had breaks for about 2 years. I also can't go fast any way. I got some bad gearing. 25 spocket with 12 back rim.
