I live for the CABE
I know it’s a girls bike and post war but it’s early post war and my wife said she thought it would be cool to ride on the 4th of July (we are having a neighborhood parade...socially distanced of course). So...I gotta strike while the iron is hot and capitalize on her interest. Off of the joist hook it came after hanging for a good 5 years. I actually thought it was in better shape than it was in...example...anything chrome or cad was painted silver and painted with all parts on the bike...quality job and I’m sure looked way better than the original finish (dripping sarcasm). Here is the state it’s in...pulled out of the box and onto a hook and now on the stand. Step 1.
Rims and hubs are covered in paint so gonna set those aside and go with a really nice set of unstamped flat lobdels which would be an option for a ‘46-47.
Next, address the crust and paint.
Soak some parts in the sonic cleaner too...
Day 1 complete...all parts torn down and degreased.
