Finally riding a big boys bike
Hello everyone,
Purchased this earlier in the year and spent a good 5 weeks of evenings & weekends completely disassembling , cleaning, re-greasing all bearings, and waxing. Thanks to Pat from Dayton for saving it and passing it on. The bike is completely original including Dunlop sprite double line tires , tubes, cables, saddle, pedals , chain, grips...even reused some bearing balls. All pinstripes intact and all R nuts present! Heuret Alvit works fine and can still get it up to tallest gear but cable housing end shows small deformation from that infamously strong return spring. Let me know what you think! Thanks, Steve
