Paper Boy(s)

Wednesday, June 17 will mark the first month Sean and I have lived in Boston. Over the last three weeks we've been exploring the city and it's benefits backslash distractions. From poking around and shopping to cruising on bikes and boards we've located some killer spots. Initially I had the intentions of repairing and refurbishing an ol' family heirloom bicycle that has been in my family since I was ten years old. The bike was manufactured by Western Auto Supply circa the 1970's, although I came across a little extra money apre´ graduation and purchased a new Mercier Kilo TT that will be here within several days. As I decided to purchase the Mercier, the WAS went on the back burner and will become my winter cycle. Sean on the other hand has been refurbishing a beautiful Raleigh classic and converted it to a 46t chainwheel x 15t fixed cog. Working diligently on keeping the classic vibe of his Raleigh, I decided to share in his excitment by filming a little bit of the process here and there. The following video is a culmination of the steps Seans taken towards making his cycle a little more official...
