Stripping the paint. 1 1/4” fork and shorter stem acquired. I need to source some rub-off letters to put BIKETINKER on the top tub. Ideally I’d put drop bars on here but the stems don’t work for that. I’d also love to make this a singlespeed for the lightness but I haven’t even measured the chainstay yet.
Stripping paint is tedious Don’t ask me if stripping the paint was a dumb idea. It was a dumb idea.
Venmo $5 for 3 stickers to @biketinker – I’ll add some kind of sticker gallery here of new and old stickers.

I sold off most of my stock of stickers and patches recently to clear the way for new and weirder designs.
Main changes are adding the Biketinker name, and not being constrained by a bicycle theme. And I use “Sticky Brand” for production, not that old donkey brand.
UPDATE: About 150 people came out for the ride, I led it, and some deputized citizens ran sweep and kept things on track. I want you to think about stepping in and making something happen when you see a need.

5: Brifters! My first ever brake lever shifting bike. Maybe my second ever even riding one. I thought they were genius when they came out, I was just too poor and riding fixed all the time.
