Today I got the old Wheeler out of the garage, I want to use it for Battle on the Beach so thought I should see what work is required.
In general its not bad. I changed the tyres to some old Tioga 1.95s.
The rear wheel bearing has a little play and one of the canti brakes was a bit siezed so nothing a good service wont sort out.
The gear cables are nearly rusted through under the down tube, so at the same time I will change the shifters as I don't get on with them.
I want to change the saddle to a Turbo, put on some foam grips and she will be ready (hopefully)
Will update as work progresses.
