Senioritis?

This year, as a senior in High School, I took a class called 'Senior Project.' Today, there's something called the 'Exhibit of DOOM' going on, and as a student, I'm going to be in it. Nothing major, hardly worth posting about on the world wide web. On a bulletin board, facebook forum or something like that yeah, but I like to overdo things.

For my project, I built bikes. All types of 'em. Things from single speeds with free coasters to more complex mountain bikey things. Not a bad way to spend a quarter, if you ask me. My question was, "Can I build every kind of bike?" and, for the most part it was answered with an overwhelming 'YES!' from my abilities.

Below is an example of one of my first bikes, which I completely redid. Painted, re cabled, all of that which I hadn't done too much of before.


Sadly, not everyone was as reliable as dear Lizzie. Aside from the bikes I'll be showing at the exhibit today, I made Alex, Crotch (Jakob), and Nat one. But, they all 'forgot' to take pictures! So, I'll show you a little bit of the painting process from before:

Just sanded, threw a layer or two of some hardcore rust primer on..
I miss that beard. That is the final product, obviously, of the first female, really, really old Raleigh that I fixed up, and completely rebuilt.

Other than that, I built up a Surly Steamroller (since I work at QBP, I had to build it up myself anyway), Completely rehauled my BMX, so it is only 24lbs now, and the rest (aside from my unreliable friends'!) will be at the exhibit! See you there.
