Re:

I had to get the threads of the bb chased before I could install the cranks but I'll gladly add more pics asap when i am done

The hubs turned out awesome though. I used "Slap Shot" by Walter and a fine brush to scrub. For the most part, the grease evaporated off. I should have taken a before pic, these things were filled with grud and years of grease.

But other than that, I haven't gotten very far.

Re:

I finished roughing her together today and I'm really pleased...it turned out better than I imagined. I bought a Stratos recently and it came with a suede Turbo saddle and it was a nice touch for the Toad.

I need a keeper bolt mechanism for the Bullseye cranks but I can at least pedal around the block now. I started with original XT 6 speed shifters and a rear derailleur that I had been saving for this exact moment of resurrection, but just as I had it all together this morning and was about to run the cables, I noticed the barrel adjuster for the thumb shifter was missing and the threads stripped So I had to mount some newer 7 speed XT gear. Anyways, here's some pics of my efforts!
