2011 Trek 4300 Experiment

Built this up largely as a joke and it was a mess of a bike. Found the frame in the trash and found out pretty quickly it was because the frame was cracked in the chainstay. Decided it wasn't worth building to actually ride (or resell since it isn't my size,) but I could do some frame painting practice and make something weird. Did a pretty bad job on the paint and have definitely improved since this build. But yeah, this things odd. A series of bad decisions.
