'45 Dx

[Boris]

Scored a really nice Atlas badge on ebay to replace missing badge of the same outline. Been after one for a while now. @prewarmachine thought I should have been looking for a Pioneer badge though, because I'm so old.

Really a chore getting the kickstand off, due to pin being stuck in hole in the sprag, but it's fixed now with help from my friends YAY! Worn cam on left needed to be replaced with cam on right in first photo. Also changed the Atlas badge for the more common Ludwig badge because it matches the bike better.

Did you try to clean, lube and reinstall the original cam? That cam is one of the identifiers of a 45. It would be nice to keep it in there.

I didn't, but the cam has been labeled and saved. We couldn't see how any of the the "turrets" could possibly provide sufficient resistance. I really wanted to be sure that I had a working kickstand so that I could truly enjoy this bike. Getting that pin out was such a chore, we could only bring ourselves to deal with it just once. There it will stay unless a new problem presents itself.

Glad you kept that piece!
