The Restoration..

Seemingly a simple task..

Taking an older, rusted and scratched cannondale, to take apart and rebuild.

The wheels are buckled beyond repair, the paintwork is beyond scuffed, the handlebar stem doesn’t move so easily. Even the crank needs to be replaced, so essentially I have a frame, handlebars and peddles.

Im just hoping YouTube tutorials are enough for my very not mechanically minded self. If not, I’ll go to a professional. It’s not inevitable that I screw it up…

Wish me luck.. I’ll need it.

The First Steps..

Taking the bike apart, cleaning, degreasing and sanding it down. Stand by for pictures.. It may take me a few days til I can afford even the sandpaper. I’m a peasant. I’m broke.

International editions

There will be no physical editions, national, regional or international, under any circumstances.

The project.. In a nutshell. Just a placeholder for now.

First Steps…

A Stoic doesn’t control the world, but they control always how they respond to the world. So it’s a really great philosophy if you’re doing something. If you’re a leader or an athlete or a poet or a politician, it’s there for the stresses of life. It’s four virtues are courage, justice, wisdom, and temperance

The end goal…

Lorem Ipsum, the commonly used placeholder text in design and publishing, originated from a Latin text written by Cicero in 45 BC..

On a budget…

Specifically, it’s derived from a passage in “De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (“The Extremes of Good and Evil”).

Next Steps…
