Quick update for today......After much conversation with men in the know I think some sort of metal bond like JB-Weld is the way forward for the rear mech bolt.
Done well! Left to do:
- Strip & service & polish the brake callipers...install new blocks
- Service the front mech (won't take long, bugger all to that)
- Install rear mech (as above) and install cable
- Tape up the bars
- Whack a saddle on
Then it will be ready for a test ride!! Not bad as I only picked it up on Sunday! Really though it's not in too bad a state... I've been very lucky that bearing cups/cones etc. have been in great condition which made life easier...meant I didn't have to source parts. I have some Claud Butler "puncture protection" tyres on at the mo but have a set of dual compound Rubena sport on the way.
I''ll leave you with a few photos whist I make a brew!
