Before:

my bike

After:
Schwinn Traveller III updated

So my bike project has been complete for while. Its really just taken me some time to take the pictures and post it.

the final list of updated parts:
Brooks honey-brown leather Saddle Seat
Brooks honey-brown leather bar tape
Soma Major Taylor Handlebars
Soma pedals
Paul’s Components e-lever brake
and the Schwinn Traveller II frame striped of its original baby blue color.
I had debated between a vintage teal green or light opaque green but couldn’t settle and decided on just a clear coat.
Maybe in the next bike project I will decide to forged ahead and apply some paint.

You can see more of my bike after the chemical stripping from my previous post here.

The plane of immanence

Lately, I have felt full of everything and nothing…
When you assume to expect much from others, you find yourself questioning what just happened, (as I most recently did).

I keep few close friends, as I truly believe you can only have so many without losing sight of that particular “closeness.” I know one of my great strength and also faults is wanting to know and understand all around me. But there are moments and actions of others you just can’t possibly understand at times.
And here I am again. Not nearer to understanding.

I believe this statement to be even more true:
Never forget who you are…the rest of the world is wrong.

Yes, the plane of immanence is most interesting.
