Back on track


Appologies for the lack of updates but I have been pre occupied with running. Tonight I found time to start putting bits back on the frame which is very satisfying. Assemebled on the frame is the handlebar stem and bar, front brake and seat post clamp. With the aid of Ebay I have managed to sell spare parts to the value of £54 , from which comes the expenditure;
2 cans of spray paint = £14
1 can of laquer = £7
front brake = £5
Handle bar stem = £10

total = £ 36

Balance = £18

We are making progress







Here are the forks which were repainted then laqured, then when I got them home promptly dropped the damm thing so have to take it back to work to repaint a section*******ing heck!The good news is the bottom stearing race was pressed on using a piece of tube and the regreased front brake (shimano rxs) is shown in the photo.



Part of the original brief was to sell spares to create funds for this bike, and so far we have sold bits to the value of £36. These were an old pair of wheels chainset and pedals, the last reamaining couple of items if and when sold will hopefully help me reach the target of £50.
