Rust & Flaking Paint

After riding through this mild winter, my bike has developed some rust spots.  It's not a big deal.  This bike was built to be used after all.


What caught me by surprise was the flaking paint on the "chain case bracket".  I thought this bike was powder coated.  I don't think powder coating is suppose to flake off.


Anyway, it's all good.  I still think it's an awesome bike.

    I think your bike is older than mine.
