It's surprisingly satisfying to get them spinning smoothly again
Like a retro fidget spinner thingy for grown ups! I like idley spinning a freshly greased hub, or a newly built wheel in a jig.
Restoring components. What have you done lately?

Well this was a brief thread.

Just as I was about to show 'n shine something generic, ah well.

I’m in the middle of a long term project removing black spraypaint from a 1988 Stumpjumper that had been completely covered in it. Some nice bits under the paint and grime. WIP thread here:

Depaint project | 1988 Stumpjumper
I picked this up at my local bike recycling centre last week where it had been diverted from landfill. At first glance/from afar it looked kinda interesting but it got much more interesting the closer I looked. As you can see, everything had been completely covered in cheap black rattlecan...

Cleaning versus 'restoring'..

Removing the paint is a little more involved than simply cleaning dirt off. And getting it off the frame is a whole other story. But I get your point.
