Yikes! It rained hard today. Things were quiet. But that means work can be done on old, worn-out bikes to make ‘em rideable again.
I like to strip ‘em, take wheels, bottom brackets, chainwheels etc. off and really clean all the parts. Iffy stuff is dumped and new fitted – often with far better quality. Hence the re-done bike is oft better than when new.
A couple of 14″ wheel kiddie-bikes are ready, an old school ‘Universal’ BMX is underway (this’ll be cool when done) with unusual handlebars and a fresh, non-kiddie single-piece crank. New wheels will be fitted and the brakes are old-school stuff that really work – ideal for holding the bike while you hop etc. (Photo of this asap.)
More kiddie bikes on the way………….
