Whale Back

 Thanks, it has a tiny crack in the circle slot for the seat tube. It happened because the seat had to go way past safe to reach my pedal height... long legs. So to avoid crack growth I fabricated a home made telescoping seat post. The crack hasn't grown and I can now pedal in the right position. My DIY now has two seasons under its belt. New fork as of last summer... best part on the bike right now. And here is another kicking thing.... the front rim... it is as old as the frame. I think it might even be one of the Rhino Lites you sold me. The last guy to "true" it gave me grief about how it is ready for the dump... that was four years ago, "cause I know how to maintain spoke tension". The hub is new though.


I love that bike. It'll be a sad day to see that frame die.
