My youngest Grandkid - young Harry - turned three in January. He's showed some interest in this 'lil goose' that I pulled out of a neighbour's rubbish collection. I cleaned it up a bit and left in the courtyard for when he comes over - but it doesn't ride very well. Dry bearings, chain and rust etc etc.

"What better excuse to play on RRB?" I thought. So yesterday I plonked it on the bench and came up with a cunning plan.
Let's make young Harry something cool. A trainer micro BMX.

First cleaned up the frame and de-sticker-ed it.

Cleaned and re-packed wheel bearings and they run sweetly now.

Cleaned and tided up the top and bottom brackets too.

Then today I hit the hardware store and the K-mart for some supplies and replacement parts.

Then got busy with the sanding block and the rattle cans.

Currently waiting for the last coat to dry.
I've got some nice black Mongoose decals in stock too.

What I don't get is this 'Winter' Build off thing??? It's the last gasps of Summer here and it's really hot in the garage :)
