Aww dammit if only I had money to buy nice things like you! :D lol.

My old blue heap o junk is holding together, just.

Rear wheel has been respoked 3 times, trued, and all that jazz. Front wheel is good, but thats only cause I replaced it. BB has been replaced, pedals are good. But its looking rough as hell... I want shineyness! :D
