oh, and also an ’08 gsxr600 kickstand, lots of work let to do, like align the sprocket, get a better rear wheel, etc, but at least it’s starting to take some seriously sexy shape!!! 😀

I seriously hate to do this, but I need to thin out the project herd, and sadly the SV is lower on my list than getting a project car right now. The SV is listed on craigslist right now for $3800, I do not want to ship, if you get someone to come pack it…

so the parts for the Trek 950 Singletrack build are slowly coming together: a 1 1/8″ Chris King Black Sotto Voce headset that i picked up used (still need the 2Nut conversion for it), those Paul Neo-Retro brakes for the rear that I’ve posted about before, a Thomson 29.8 Elite Black seatpost, some DT Swiss…
