I have a life long history of tinkering with things in an attempt to "upgrade" them. Firstly, the naivety of this approach only recently became clear. WHAT!!! How the f#ck is 15 year old with a 3d printer going to upgrade a specialized rockhopper!!?!?!? Anyways, I'm grateful for my youthful arrogance because a history of tinkering has built the "skills" that I have today. These latest projects were an attempt to upgrade my new Canyon Grail (which, long story short, replaced my canyon grizl after getting hit by a car and cracking both my frame and Scapula).
