Title: back on her own 2 wheels
Post by: fjfool on June 01, 2015, 10:32:14 PM
well, after a very on again off again winter of work
i finally got it together for a bit of test riding
new wheels, brakes, and suspension
she runs great, just fantastically smooth!!!
all went rather trouble free with all the info and support that was offered to me here

thank you all for your help!

very minor issues, just dealing with a hot front rotor- like a piston is hanging up (fully rebuilt calipers too! wtf?) still believing i could not be the issue here, PFFFFT, right.
Really though, i dont know what else to do but try another rebuild
here she is:

hey thanks!
amazing what 10 feet can do in a photo for looks, she had a hard life before i got her
i couldn't find your thread to respond about Colorado River Road but, its about 7miles from me and it does turn to dirt(but ridable when dry) about 10 miles up
not the best for cooking it too many blind turns for wildlife and sandy washouts- very beautiful though
it does connect to my local stomp, route131 access to steamboat, Kremmling and Walden and Poudre canyon
