Gary's Projects has recently bought a Boulder 500, which makes me think that this bike might be cool now. Maybe it was always cool. I just stuck some Maxxis DTH on it, and I thought it's about time I updated this thread.
In the last 6 months I've taken off the guards, stuck on some wide Renthal bars and a Noswohl stem, took the anodising off a Superstar ring and bought some cheap chainring bolts from a brand called "Snail". I've done some other bits too but I can't really remember everything. Gone from knobby fast rollers to pump track tyres and excited to feel the difference over a weekend of city cruising. I like the knobby look, but the new tyres make it feel like a big BMX.
I will get around to taking some better photos at some point, but for now enjoy these screenshots I took from a video I sent to Gary himself.
Yes the stem converter/Noswohl looks SHIT. Any recommendations, I'm all ears. I think it needs to be silver to match the seatpost. I miss the old quill stem look but enjoy using the wide bars, maybe BMX stem and moto bars?
Off to ride it get some corriander from Co-op
