I have the same bike, looks really sharp with the red tires. Where did you pick those up and what brand are they? Thanks and nice work.

They were actually really cheap Kenda tires. Got them at a swap meet for $4/each. Kenda Kross Supreme.

Thanks! I regret getting rid of this one, it was just a little too big

Great looking bike. But dump the Tiagra for 105 when you can. Shimano's dirty secret.

Thanks! The overall plan is to put everything back on my road bike and use a 1 x 11 sram force build on this through swap meet season! I definitely want an external BB. I have a 105 road bike in the works.
