brotherjack ◊ 2012-07-17 09:10	yes, it helps, thanks! but now it's hardest (never happy) rear chain seems to be on the right side wich is not really common!

After all, it does end up in the "swamp" (or at least underwater) and I doubt a numbers-matching bike would've been allowed to meet that fate, at least not for a TV show with a large (but still relatively limited) budget. -- Last edit: 2012-07-17 15:32:37
