Such an old thread, but here is everything that has happened so far: Project Maggie Mae - A Restoration Thread | General Bike Related Topics

I normally break spokes. When the first one eventually breaks, it gets to another every week. Then it’s time to rebuild.

Riding a mountain bike in Afghanistan.

What was that like? Safety?

In South Africa, I carried a little 32 in my cycling jersey. Had to use it twice. Did not hurt anyone, but it was enough to scare the crap out of someone.

It was only used on the camp.....

I put lots of reflective tape on it so I didn't get run over as it got dark there at 1700.......

I decided to ship it home instead of leaving it there, and I'm glad I did so I didn't see some Taliban riding it around in a video or something.....
