Can't afford all the pixels?

My GT Tequesta Townie!

Hope you get well soon, that bike deserves to be ridden, one of my favourite forum rats!

Had an arthroscopy to hopefully fix a botched one I had done last year. Meniscus trim to fix a tear. Seems to be looking positive so far.

@Sig_Arlecchino I'm going to screw together a bit of a frankenvitus 979 as a rehab bike. Risers, big frame and light gearing for easy pedalling. Probably do that next week.

Sounds like the same thing I'm having done next month .get well soon mate, less hills . i will be dropping singlespeed and less grinding up the hills.
Not getting younger :(

Got a GTB, so this is no longer my "good" track bike, rebuilt it as a proper PNW winter workhorse and honestly, I don't think its ever looked as good as it does now.

Those fender stays will cut you. Or just get caught on the downtube while turning.
A dremel and you won't have to take them off to cut them.

Fork ID?

Brake cable cutters are normally beefy enough too.

I always remove mine to trim so that when reinstalled they disappear behind the clamp.

Really? Seems like a good way to ruin an expensive tool.

In what way? The steel of the stays isn't exactly hard so you won't flatten the shearing edge.

I dunno. When I used a dremel I couldn't really imagine doing the same with a cable cutter. But perhaps you're right!

I used a dremel a few times and found the cutters much faster. Maybe I'm using the wrong dremel tool but I did check over the cutters afterwards and couldn't see any damage.

TL;DR they both work
