Theseus
On July 8th, 2018, Theseus got really hurt
It was rescued from a basement in Pittsburgh and took a lot of abuse over the next decade or so as spoke after spoke broke (until Ely learned how to true a wheel and put in good ones that were kept maintained). It was upgraded with new brakes, a dynamo lighting system (that got stolen once) went through a handful of rear racks and top tube pool noodles and looked festive for every occasion.
The frame also never quite fit Ely right (hence the top tube pool noodle to protect delicates) which bothered all who saw it, true to its name, we wanted to help him get a new frame to move everything over to, so we scoured craigslist until finding a fitting replacement, some $80 unknown 26" mountain bike frame that looked like it had been repainted with latex housepaint at some point in its life: A bit of math showed that with the long reach calipers that were already on there for the switch from 27" wheels to 700C would mean that the fender hole is close enough to use as a brake hole and so the frame was bought
A quick build party later, and we found out that the seatpost was not leaving the old frame and the fender bolt holes were not quite big enough for brakes. In addition, somehow the guide for the rear brake was split in the worst possible way. Theseus was left about 80% complete until we found a drill to finish it off
A couple of days later, Ely found a drill and got the brakes in properly
Now on to the dynamo lights, because Theseus lives outside at night (despite our protests of cruelty), anything flashy left on there is at risk of going away. To solve that problem, Ely added a plug to the cable and installed the front light with wingnuts
The previous solution included wingnuts but no easy connector so that was a distinct improvement around not having too much strain on a part that was not made to be connected and separated a couple of times a day. The final step was adding a front rack because it's a shame to see those cantilever brake posts on the front go to waste

And then off camping
Theseus is dead! Long live Theseus!
(I broke the frame a little bit more so that no one gets any ideas about trying to build it up and ride it)
