| "Another
flaw in the human character is that everybody wants to build and nobody wants to do maintenance." -Kurt Vonnegut slow leak in front tire had kept us from using GG the Grocery Getter lately so i finally got down to it with a bucket of water to chase the puncture and sure enough i spotted the telltale bubble trail. turns out the inside of the rim got so corroded a rust flake pierced the inner tube. so i sanded the wheel inside and out. i've done this before but this time i wanted it to last so after i got it nice and shiny i painted it black. it's such a battle-scarred ride people assume it's derelict but i explained to curious passersby how it's a former boeing bike, a nigh indestructible workhorse manufactured by worksman, america's oldest bicycle company. |
