hee heee
its getting there Tim

have to put it on second and ride like that.. ! AND I jsust put the 14T front sprocket on.. so its a bit racy in second.. ...


it has jsut left a straight arm.. I cant really ride it .. hoping I can find a place in the morning that might just drill the hole out and bolt it for me- a garage or similar..
