I would have switched the sides for a "checker board" pattern

The only problem is that when viewed head-on, there's an optical illusion that makes the black-wrapped side look longer. I think white electrical tape to finish that side might balance it out.

Picked this up this 2010 (?) last winter at a garage sale (!!) in pretty much original condition, just got around to it. It even had the wheel reflectors still on it. A little too small for me so I put the riser bars on it, but the ride is great.
Let the beatdown begin.

Take off the reflectors and I can dig it. Gearing looks pretty big though.
