Blindside
Old School Hero
well its rideable now! Its very smooth...heavy, but good fun.
Now i must say i did expect the chain to come off on bumpy sections, but first ride it was coming off every mile. I may put it back to 24 speed but for now (since these pics) i have taken a few links off the chain and fingers crossed, it hasnt come off since.
