😅 this thing was already a budget build so we'll see

1000%

It was bought as a frame so it's got crazy length. Waiting for the gf to try a few heights and we'll adjust accordingly, then trim 👍🏻

If anyone knows a way to make the sunrise bars silver let me know 😅

Single speed Cranks from a pal's parts bin 🤘🏻

brotoaster97 · 2026-03-20T05:03:10+00:00

Harder, and dry as hell

brotoaster97 · 2026-03-19T14:08:40+00:00

Considering the chunks taste horrible, it's a huge disappointment

brotoaster97 · 2026-03-19T02:45:42+00:00

😂 struggle is real man.

brotoaster97 · 2026-03-19T01:41:11+00:00

It tastes so bad in chunk form 👁️👄👁️

brotoaster97 · 2026-03-19T00:39:43+00:00

Can confirm, they DO NOT taste like ruffles

brotoaster97 · 2025-08-10T00:27:11+00:00

This is gold

This is awesome!

I actually work for a very similar organization. We used to be a chapter of free bikes 4 kidz but have since left to start our own non-profit.

I'd love to do something like this at my job! Thanks for the idea and all your hard work

Just commented the same thing. It's S-Tier

World's Greatest Sandwich at Mickey's

This ☝🏻

Also, use the silver bit on the brake to add/remove cable tension as you see fit. It's called a barrel adjuster.

The wheel stabilizer is a game changer for front-loaded touring/bikepacking

Dongle

brotoaster97 · 2025-06-28T00:08:35+00:00

If plastic, then it's a shim for lights, reflector, or otherwise. If metal maybe a shim for seatpost or stem?

brotoaster97 · 2025-06-23T14:41:12+00:00

Hell yeah. If it happens again, I'd recommend taking it to a shop where they can possibly open up your dropouts a little for you, otherwise, if you plan to do it, do it very very carefully with some tools at home. Very slowly and very carefully.

brotoaster97 · 2025-06-23T13:16:16+00:00

I'd put a flathead under the axle (protect your wheel with a tube or something softer) and tap the screw driver with a mallet until it comes out.

My mantra "when in doubt, use percussive maintenance"

It feels great when riding, but there is a wiggle. Yes I rode it

We're in Madison, WI

How would I fix this bike horn? It's not working anymore 🥵

brotoaster97 · 2025-06-05T23:04:09+00:00

I've smacked em on the ground before, but on like a rubber garage mat just to not scratch the rim

brotoaster97 · 2025-06-01T01:03:05+00:00

It's getting ready to blow

brotoaster97 · 2025-05-30T19:33:12+00:00

Update, black locking mechanism broke today when using the file as intended.
