    My old/new gravel & cross bike

    I picked this up on Craigslist and gave it some TLC. I didn't take a picture before I started changing things but you get the idea with the factory paint scheme. I found an awesome company 5 minutes away from my house to lay down the Army Green powder coating.

    It makes me sick how easy it is for you to make a bike look good.

    Chris the bike looks great. I love OD Green. Can't believe ya got that bike for $300 bucks. Can't wait to get that thing dirty. You should have seen how nasty our bikes were after Sunday's gravel/dirt/mud grinder.
    Did you hear the one about the guy on his death bed that said "I wish I would have wokred more and rode my bike less". Said NO ONE EVER. -Jeff Scott

    Jeff,
    I tore the Misfit completely apart and gave it some much needed TLC, waxed the frame and put new anti seize on every screw.

    Now, I'm ready to take Chris out to CWMA and get them dirty all over again.
