While glancing over quickly, I thought your chain was rusty AF. 😅😂

Looks really nice. Have a lot of fun on the tour! Are you out for longer?

Man I wish I was touring! I just happen to have the day off yesterday so did around 18 miles total out and back. The chain is ridiculous. It's a very cheap POS chain. I picked it up for $40 without wheels in really rough shape mostly for the XT stuff. It has a few dings, and was pretty scratched up. You can't see in the pic, but it's mostly primer now. Plan on using this as a beater/city bike for quick errands. I just wanted to put some miles on it to see how it feels. The wheel set on it now is pretty decent. I'm going to true a junker set this weekend. And it'll be done.

I love retro MTBs with coloured wheels.
