Hey Pinkbike people, My, name is Micah and I have had the opportunity to participate in something really neat for my school. I attend an interest-based learning program where 2 days out of the week, I go to an internship
of my choice. My internship at the bike shop here in town has been an amazing learning opportunity. I've been working on a school project involving resurrecting an old Giant OCR All Road for a while now. It has been a
fun project throughout. I Stripped everything off the bike and ultrasonic cleaned all the parts I could. I threw on some new 25c tires and trued the wheels which was probably the most difficult part because of the aero
spokes. Thankfully I am on an internship at the LBC so I had access to all the tools under the sun. Once everything was clean, I greased and reassembled the bike and put fresh bar tape on. After that, I made this Google
Form for the community to fill out. If you wish to help me out and fill out the form, it will be at the bottom of the page.
