Bike Check

It has been a while since I’ve done a bike check… I guess that’s just part of growing up and not really worrying about getting all the new parts coming out, or having the extra money to buy things when they aren’t broken. While I was in San Diego, I decided I needed a change to get me stoked on my bike again. I was contemplating a new frame, but when I realized I didn’t have the funds for it… I went for the next best thing– Fresh paint. You can check out a few photos and what parts I’ve got after the jump…
