Plus One Lap used to be all about cyclocross, now it's my dumping grounds for anything cycling.

Raleigh: Downtube painted
I wanted to do a full repaint before cross season, but seeing as I need to ride this bike daily, a full repaint is tricky.
The downtube on the Raleigh was heavily rusted, so after work yesterday, I sanded the downtube to bare metal, primed it and sprayed it black. It actually came out really nice (never underestimate a new coat of paint). I’m considering powdercoating, but don’t want to pay $100 to have it done. I have about $250 into the bike as it is now.
Will probably just ride it as is, will build up another bike that I can ride home from work and do the full bike at some point.
Also mounted the “New” pedals last night.
