A Green Bike

I have decided to keep the original paint and simply perform touch up painting. The major idea behind the decision is keeping the bike green as possible.

The frame is used and I hope to build up as much of the bike as possible with used parts. I do foresee having problems locating a used fork and the generator hub I want for a front light.

The hub will generate electricity for my lights and will replace the need for electricity and batteries. These benefits should offset the purchase of new equipment. I do plan to search for a used option, but

I need to have the bike together before October for the winter commute.
