I've had this one on the rack for a while...But after seeing Rat Rod's Collegiates I got real motivated! :mrgreen:
Here's where I started:
And so last night I broke 'er down, bagged, tagged and got 'er ready for a major service, lube tire 'n tube and clean & shine!!
First thing: Front wheel off, dis-mount tire...
Front wheel cleaned up real nice! :mrgreen:
Woah! The fenders are pretty rusty underneath...
My fellow Rat Biker at work has been raving about Wood Bleach (OXALIC ACID) to clean chrome...You can follow this thread on the subject: http://www.vintagebmx.com/community/index.php?showtopic=4004702...SO I thought I might try it... :| Anyway....
I continued to break 'er down and good thing! Cuz' ALL the bearings were as dry as....
So here we are as of 8/26/09:
So now it's back on the rack for a detail/wash/polish on the frame...
And a tub 'o parts for the same... :wink:
Please stay tuned.... :mrgreen:
