new tires, brake cables, and replacement rack ordered for my avenger. I think instead of a klunker build I'm just gonna try to make my current #bike work even if it's a bit short.
next step is gonna be researching crank arms for it. the bottom bracket is some kind of proprietary mess.
I'm probably gonna take some of the bags off of it as well. I carry a lot *on* the bike that I could carry on me.
