Retrobike Rider
a recent acquisition from ebay for £20...left to rot somewhere..
on arrival I removed all parts and regreased, found the rear old canti's virtually welded to the frame, but with brute force and the use of hammer with chisel i removed it. unfortunately the non drive side had been broken before transit so never arrived. the driveside was stuck on the bb. I also stripped the thread partially when trying to remove it so on it stayed for now..
I have now added dx cantilever brakes, dx thumbshifters, dx pedals and some basic wheels..i want to get some slicks on this and use it as a town bike to thrash around eventually..
