Chainring
On Training Wheels
I started that project that I mentioned when I introduced myself, Mead Ranger Aristocrat. This is my first attempt, and learning as I go, wish me luck.
I got it all the way down to the frame today. The bottom bracket was in great shape, I'm assuming because of the super goo I found in there, wow, ha! M27 on the crank.
I also sand blasted the clad wheels. They might take longer than the bike itself?! Maybe I'll get a "today" wheelset for Sunday bombing arounds. The sprocket has "Patent January 1, 1923" forged on it's surface.
It's got a New Departure brake.....and hub maybe? I haven't cleaned it off yet so not sure about the hub, but seemed to be working perfectly. Disassembly of that will be interesting. Maybe a GoPro to make sure I put it back together right, uh?
I found a wooden tube of graphite in the toolbox, must have been used on the chain.
I'd like to get the saddle restored if anybody's knows a place. Great looking saddle but dry rotted. I'll put some pics of the parts on tomorrow.
Regards,
C
