Finally riding a big boys bike
Hi CABE,
I purchased this bike about 18 months ago. I have completely re-greased all the hubs and bearings, added a more correct guard and an egg crate rack. It has now become one of my favorite riders.
I have been trying to remove the house paint (0000 steel wool and wd40) but for every inch I successfully remove the other inch goes back to bare metal no matter how gentle I am. Any extra tips would be appreciated! I still have a long way go, the fenders appear to be chrome under the white paint, so stripping them next might be the go.
I also cannot find the date stamp on the fork, did any escape the stamping process?
Still work to do, but as its summer here it’s just time to ride!
Cheers
MrA
