Thanks! I live in Germany.
And I am definitely not selling those skewers
I never even knew they made front ones until I found this set on the local craigslist equivalent.
I really like your post! I had a 2006 Kinetic until a few months ago I commuted on everyday, rain snow or shine for almost 10 years. Some jerk stole it and I miss it dearly! It was great in all weather just like your photos show. Didn’t realize how great it was until I had to replace it enjoy it, it’s a great bike!
I used mine to go on many adventures with my dog in all kinds of weather. I wish I had gone bike camping with him but he’s 18 now and doesn’t look like he’s around for too much longer. He’s the black collie, I still take him out for short rides. That bike was great for everything I’m still hoping I’ll get it back somehow
I emailed a guy named Paul to maybe get a tip on how to best conserve the Magnesium brake booster. He told me to give it 'a coat of anything' and it would be fine.
So here goes anything:
First, take off some of the powder coat.
This is what I have on hand, dark brown wood stain. I gave it a good clean and applied a generous coat.
I'm curious how it will turn out. It's currently drying in the boiler room in all of its brown glory.
