>>1747549Just cleared the frame after some rust removal for now, waiting for the paint on the fork to cure so I can hit it with another coat and clear it later. I figured I may as well since I had to take the fork out and removal of everything is just a few minutes anyway. While a bit better, the frame still looks like proper dogshit, but I will fully strip it for a real paint job and order the decals sooner rather than later if I buy this tt bike I have been eyeing. Honestly debating on painting it some funky color and decal frauding just so I have something that matches, but I probably will not.
I purchased the brake levers, actual bullhorns that aren't just cut off drop bars, more adjustable aero bars, and a chain that will be the proper size. I will post a photo taken by an actual camera once everything is put back together.
