I didn't know you paint.... wanna paint my SC?
What have you done to your bike today?
- Thread starter Chris(NJ)
- Start date
I should note the bike is a Ross Grand Prix from the 60s or 70s. I picked it up from an old man (not @mattybfat) a while ago in Hackettstown. I think it was either free or $20.
Looked something like this cottered cranks and all, but in blue. Condition is about same too.

You don't see many older 26" bikes with discs around. Cool.
Saw a video on making a fender out of a plastic bottle so I gave it a try. No pics...because it kinda sucks. My interpretation, not the concept! Right now it's probably too short to accomplish much, I might have to build in a curve to extend the fender without rubbing the downtube. I like the concept and might keep playing with it, or I could just order a Mucky Nutz and call it a day.

congrats Rick, that's one handsome steedFinishing touch on the 27.5+ horsethief - hope F20 pedals - Jay matched the color to the hubs perfectly
They won't look this good again once the rocks start chewing them up.

Yeah, it's weird since the bike isn't super old ('08), but compared to anything else I have it looks almost vintage. Need to make some nostalgia rides🙂
Installed new sram ss chain and an Absolute Black oval ring.
Liking the oval so far.

Actually that'd be pretty cool, nothing newer than what? 2000?
Maybe not at Sourlands or Jungle tho. 😀

Switched all my bikes over to these cagless bottles. Devinci wqsnt having it Made it work with some spacers. So now I don't jam up on the cables. She just fits..
Picked up a car rack today, so I can carry the Miata around on the mnt bike while I ride. I hear it work to carry bikes as well? I'll have to put it on the Subaru to try.
