I’m hooked! I don’t know what I’m doing most of the time but I’m learning a lot. I have a friend who can fix anything so he’s helping me. This is real progress, I’ve taken it all apart, derusted, power washed and lubed-up, now I’m getting ready to paint. Just looking for any pointers. I don’t want it to look like a hack job, or too perfect (pretty sure this won’t be an issue) but I’m not really sure how much to retouch and how much to leave as it is. I got a new seat, pedals, handgrips, a headlight and a basket for the front so those will be new but I like the old bits just as much.
I learned that the chain is unique, the seat has a smaller post, one pedal was crazy hard to get off and I did have a crack in the internal neck piece. My friend is going to weld it and I should be good to go from there.
My kitchen table is covered in bike parts, and I’m loving it. I’m sure I’m not the only one in this situation in this group!
