I came across an AMP B3 that needed some rescuing
Faults detected:
Weird plate on seat tube (I think it's hiding/reinforcing a repair) Hence 'Ampenstein'! Geezer claims it was reheat treated afterwards
Front wheel out of true, rear wheel about 25mm(!) out of alignment
Rear derailuer hanger bent
Rear stop tab on derailuer broken
No bearing in rear derailuer guide pulley
Rear shifter seized
Rear shifter cable seized
Incorrect axle on BB
Other than that? Nothing wrong at all - Best thing is bloke I bought it off claimed all the suspension bushes had been done... They have! And done properly! Which is ome kind of miracle considering much of the rest of the bike
So far fixed:
Front wheel out of true, rear wheel about 25mm(!) out of alignment
Rear derailuer hanger bent
Rear stop tab on derailuer broken
No bearing in rear derailuer guide pulley
Rear shifter seized
Rear shifter cable seized
I swapped the pedals (it had resin Wellgos) and the QRs it had steel ones... Now it's properly ridable
Gave me something to play with this evening!
Now I can ride it to work, must make sure not to crash while I watch all those funky linkages doing their thing up front
Yep! that's why I bought it!
Not sure what I'll ultimately do with it
