Still had the RBBO5 Ward's Hawthorne bike that I never finished last year; it was the coldest, wettest, windiest summer here in over 100 years never really good for painting or anything else. I did notice there is a crack in the steerer, not too serious and was never able to really get the frame in shape for primer. The pitting from the latex paint that was on it just doesn't want to come out, abrasive wheels, wire wheels, sanding... enough...will need to get it blasted (nice surface rust there now) but not til it warms up and we get a couple of good days put together. So far weather no cooperating again, rain today(talking snow in the mountains), W.T.F? it's mid-May and this is SoCal!!!
It was gonna be a klunker/mil build may try to keep that theme.
This fork was bent originally, might have been some of the stress from straightening it even though it was collared, but might have been there from the orignal crash or whatever just never noticed.
