• I exploded my last mini v on a pomp, and had long pulls to hand so thought I’d get that nodder touring bike energy

    New background, less bins.

    Fitted the brakes and they work, I think the wheels have a bit of a wobble, and either the free wheel or the whole rear wheel is sticky, they could do with a service tbqh, whole bike could.

    Hopefully holds together just long enough to go for a bit of a ride and collect the finishing aesthetic parts

    Was a new sensation for me today, no 450547 fitting v brakes

    For the first time I fit them and every annoyance which came up I was just like “oh I need to do this” and “well looks like I need to do this”

    Was quite nice to not be completely unhinged trying to google with on hand, fix with another and scream the whole time

    Many might label it zen, a sense of achievement for their manual graft allowing them a sense of ownership through labour, I personally would just say it was a bit boring and would be good to have a coffee while a bike person does it
