Last year I had a couple of ideas for projects that I wanted to do. I really needed a do everything fixed that I could tear about on in the mud and strap bags too. I also wanted a geared adventure bike for when fixed offroad would be no fun because of big hills or big miles. I sold my Genesis Day 1 which I was never happy with and bought a Steamroller and I built a Pompetamine with some gears and risers. For the most part they were successful and I have enjoyed many miles on these bikes. However I got a little carried away, fell down the eBay worm hole and ended up buying a few extra frames. In all this excitement a lot of attention and moneys got diverted away from actually finishing these projects and general maintenance for existing bikes. 2018 has brought a New Years resolution of no more new bikes and lots of finishing existing bikes. Less N+1 and more N/finish1.
This year will be a year dedicated to finishing these bikes and showing some love and upgrades to existing bikes that have been sidelined. Thought I would make a thread to keep track of progress and in case anybody happened to be interested. Feel free to comment or roast as you see fit.
