Deeply sad that this bike frame and forks have to go. I took them to a local shop. The mechanics tried their best to get the bottom bracket out. Said not to spend any more money on the bike.

I had a lot of fun building this bike up. I learned a lot in the process. It makes me happy that I was able to take it out on a few last rides. I'm also glad to know that its parts are going to live on and will be used on other bikes.

Thanks for the memories, Rusty the HardRock.
