pulling out all stops for the ultimate sound system in the mancave...
I needed to find new ride for a friend,
Jeirvine agreed to sell this really sweet TREK 420 mixte,
Everyone agreed the drops and turkey levers need to be swapped for upright bars.
I went over to Jeirvines place and it was practice night for his band, which is
one af the best bands out of Baltimore..

So I got to put in some wrench time with a kick arse sound system!
so top this!
anyone notice something odd about the bike?
im not done with it yet!

Looks like a cool evening, always love a live band but I've never tried to get any work done during a show/practice. Looks like you were able to stay fairly productive though.

ha ha, you found it, it was getting late and I need to get new cables at the shop in the morning,
this way my friend can test it before I swap it over! but its going to happen.
it needs a matching seat but its a cool ride.

Me too! I was going to comment if someone else didn't. Nice axes, too -- I want a Jazzmaster. That one looks genuinely vintage, unless they've reissued the block inlay ones from the late 60s/70s.
And Jeff Bridges on drums, how cool is that?

Nice, mike! And mr. Irvine too. Nothing like some good. Tunes while working on the bike. I had Bob D. on, vinyl, while sawing and drilling on the moto yesterday. I hope you find a nice appreciating owner for this nice build.

Yes she came over tonight for a few minutes all full of smiles, to see it and test it shortly,
she likes the bike but not my situation....
Man I really want to resolve some things ASAP...
arghh!!!!! It's going to be quite painful cycling with her Saturday.
