All stripped ready to be sanded for painting.
Headtube cups and bottom bracket cups were a pain to get out as ever. No specialist tools available so very delicate use of the hammer was required!
Now comes a lot of wet and dry paper and elbow grease. I may try to get some help with this bit!
In preparation for christmas I am fixing up a bike for my eldest son.
We were lucky enough to be given a bike with a decent frame and gear set to use as the base. We plan to strip it down and respray it metalic black with red spider graphics (spider man fan!).
We have started stripping it down and managed to get a few good parts from Halfords reduced! Red seat at £4 and red pedals at £2! Shame the thread on the pedals is the wrong size though! We also got a spider man bell for a few quid.
I have spotted some red V brakes on ebay, by the same manufacturer as the originals for £13 so they will be ordered soon.
Right, more cleaning then!
Clean bits!
All scrubbed ready to be greased and fitted.
Not exciting but hard work!
