Sounds like fun, I gotta get lights before I get a guage. The only time I have to ride is early morning or when I get back from taking care of grandma after dark... I didn't want to take my road bike out till I get more miles in after not riding for a couple years, so I should get to ride more often after building this beater cross bike.. I'm not so worried about scratching or crashing on IT cause it didn't cost all that much to build.
