Man up (if u are a man)! Ignore the pain, the ache and you will be rewarded with glorious thighs of thunder and calves of steel.
Also DON'T shave off the brazed bits. When you come to sell / wish to convert to geared/ wish to simply put a full mudguard on the back you'll regret it!
Nice frame and high BB, double plus.
Hi,
Yes to the man question.
I definitely can't keep that 50X17!! My knees hurt since yesterday, I need to use the front brake to skid, and I can't carry easily my Latte in the morning when I arrive to work because I need to push so hard on the pedals, too tough on slopes with one hand only! 44 it will be, as soon as possible...
Too late for the shaving, I started already and I will not stop... I really want to keep this frame and its destiny is to be fixed! Sorry for the puppy killing... BTW does this apply to old MTBs too? I want to clarify that I never shaved any road frames! I though early 90s MTBs where OK for that... Please accept my apologies!
