Coast to Coast
A literal barn find at the base of a ski resort. Dry stored in a relatively arid climate. Left home at 6am, drove all day with the dog, grabbed the bike for $400 CDN, drove straight home and was last vehicle on the last ferry home.
It languished on my bench for a while as I sourced some silly little bits. It was crashed and parked and during said event the back rim was severely flat spotted. Eventually, a set of 360 wheels came up on eBay.
Now I live in Canada so most of the time parts are impossible to find. If I find something on eBay, many won't ship to Canada, or the shipping is insane. Also, I love very near the US, but I live on an island with an expensive ferry. So popping down south to grab something isn't easy either.
So, after a couple late nights, two trips to a notary to get the registration sussed, I'm on the road. Taking pics today to submit my collector plate status. Super cheap insurance!
Here are my before and afters. Look at my front brakes.
