Done and Done!

My new On-One fork arrived at the shop Saturday

I ran out this morning and installed it

Now all my spring changes have been made to the Karate Monkey

LD purple Surly hubs have QR axles with Hope skewers

Front Avid BB-7 brake has been dropped to a 160 rotor (did have an 8 inch)

New SRAM 8 speed chain (old one was beyond stretched)

New Surly stainless seat post clamp

I have been considering painting the frame a different color

But I decided its not worth the time, trouble or expense

Even if I am biting Rottenmac's style

Besides, I like "Skid Mark Brown"

Now that I have used up the nice sunny but windy 70 degree Sunday morning I am gonna pull on some SPD shoes and take the KM up and down the Trolley Trail a couple of times before the temps drop and the predicted rain arrives today.

Evolution

The other night I built up a new rig out of odds and ends I had lay'n about.
Talking about it today I dubed it the "Bastard Child".















Tonight the "Bastard Child" evolved into something much nicer.















Not just nicer. This bike turned into a beauty.














Amazing the difference changing a few parts makes in appearance.
To bad the photos don't show it.
I will have to take some better ones later.
Might need a bigger gear
Will shall see
