Springtime in Germany has brought on bike weather for the gromms. Picked up a used Katarga "Milwaukee" (Frau likes it because she is from Milwaukee...) scoot for my little guy yesterday. XT drive train, Pulstar hubs, Mavic hoops...needs some TLC and elbow grease (Has been garage bound since the previous kid outgrew it...), but he has been quasi-vested in the rebuild process. Picking up parts already...new HS (Dia Comp DiaTech=garbage...) and looking for a decent used fork to replace the old Judy it has, then throwing in some Flak Jacket housings, new rubber and a token carbon/ti piece somewhere (My thing...). Plus, double bonus in that I can buy new tools! I think I am more excited about it then he is so far, but hope to have it fully operational by his b-day next month. Looking forward to getting dirty with him soon...he told me once that he could race bikes, so maybe this is the start of something big?!
Now gotta find the little girl a non toy bike...
Will take pics, stand by and wish me luck!
