Yep I did lose a little due to removing the varnish from the blue. I even used Qtips to go inside the darts but as soon as any thinner hit the pins they vanished. I've considered strengthening them a little but think I'll wait to see how it comes out first before I screw with anything. V/r Shawn

A little more progress today. Got the Forebrake cleaned up. braces back on the fenders, and seat pan blasted and sent out to Bob U. Two of the best things I bought to help with working on bikes were the blasting cabinet and rivet squeezer! V/r Shawn

Those fore brakes are such a pain to lace. I recently did one, and hope to not have to do another anytime soon! Love the colors on this one.

Well I tried a different method of lacing the Forebrake and it went really smooth. I laced the first nine on the big side then turned it over and set the rim on 2 x 4s on each side and then laced the other side from the top because you don't have to pull the spokes through. I also pulled the top off of a restored Mesinger I had and put it on the old chassis. When the other comes back from Bob I'll put it on the restored chassis. Lastly I cleaned up the Jiffy stand which I think I'm going to keep on the bike. V/r Shawn
