stuff you're doing while at home
here's where i am so far, no white walls as strangely an american 26 x 2.125 tyre isn't 26" like our's are? whoodathunkit? so back on with the black walls it was. next i cleaned the bearing races for the headstock and the pedal spindle of years of hard old grease and repacked them with fresh grease and put all the balls back in place. wheels in and it's a roller so i dropped the 'zoom' bmx stem and handlebars into the headstock and the seat and stem at the back and it's a bike again. tomorrow i'll get the brakes and gears reconnected/fitted with the new matching red cables and it's nearly there. i may keep an eye out for bars with more rise as the seating position is a bit more bobber than easy rider but we'll see how it rides.
neil.
