Hahaha Cheers the yellow was a hi build primer as that fender was a bit more pitted than the other. The paint was Rustoleum, which I have to say is crap! Used it before in the past and it's been fine but this stuff has been a nightmare. Don't know if they've changed the formula or what. Rubbish...

Done. Not perfect but as close as I can get with limited time and budget!!

Am I right in thinking heavy gear oil for the N-D hub? Like a 90?

Some more progress made. Rims stripped and hubs rebuilt. New spokes all round. Saddle recovered Fenders stripped and dents knocked out and stays realigned and straightened. Headbadge polished and started painting... needs neatening up.

More work done today. Wheels stripped off. Spokes had all the strength of overlooked spaghetti! Rims were good though. Stripped the New Departure Model D hub. It was full of crap inside but in very good order once cleaned. A pleasure to work on though. Beautifully engineered.

Started stripping and cleaning. The troxel saddle all came apart and cleaned up okay. The pedals are Wald and feel very good. The blocks are nice too. So far the everything has come apart very easily and. The bottom bracket and bearings are in very good order. This is going to be a xmas present...

Thanks for the reply If I had to guess I'd say it's proximity to one of the biggest USAAF bases in the UK is probably how it ended up here. Was I wrong about the Columbia link? I'll check out the mr columbias link

Hi Thanks for the add. I've recently picked up a ladies bike on 26in wheels. It's badged as a Firestone Warrior. It's in fairy rough but solid condition. I live in the UK and early US stuff is really hard to find. I'm interested and n restoring it back to as close to original as I can get it...
