I finally got this one back together and took it for a ride!
so there is a lot that was done and a lot that still needs to be done:
- cleaned out both hubs. bearings greased and plates oiled
- fork was rewelded
- rust on the handle bars and pretty much all over has been removed. I want to give the handlebars a further light sand and polish... but for now it is good enough
- spokes, fender braces and rims need further work. The rim pain is just toasty and i tried VERY hard to see what i can do. I just gave up for now
- chain and the crank completely gone through... im happy with it for now
- dont know what i am goign to do with the seat. It is crispy
- the pedals are interesting.. i found two right threaded blackout pedals since the one i had were so rusty i just got all the rust off and now they look like reg T8s. So i took the left bolt off the orig pedal and put it on the black out right to make my set.
- i need to work on the seat post... completely forgot about it.
- some cool paint on the fenders came out.
It rides nicely, brakes nicely... i think i have to grease up the fork a bit as it is a bit stiff. What i could use is a new screw for the top of the front fender as i just found anything that sort of fit and jammed it in there
my photobucket has a TON of pics through out the process if anyone is interested.
