Did a little more work today. Cleaned the fenders, bearings, stem, chainguard, and started some cleaning of the fork (no pics of that until I'm done).

A big thank you to member pick for sending me the rear fender for this bike for the price of shipping!

Stem and guard...sorry, forgot to take before pics!

Spent a majority of the day bike building! Finished stripping and cleaning the fork, crank/sprocket, stem, and some other small items. Finally started assembling too! This bike is looking NICE! I had to wear sunglasses while building because it was so shiny!

Update 8/31/14

After riding 30 miles yesterday with the NERRB crew I decided I needed some build time. Skip (thatismytruck) was kind enough to give me a set of rims and tires from one of his old Spacliners! Thanks again!

I washed/cleaned up the wheels and tires and regreased the front hub. I don't trust myself tearing apart the rear...someday I'll teach myself! I mounted the front and placed the rear wheel in the spots so I can roll it around. Still need to get some hardware to attach the fender strut.
