-it's been powder coated and looks so good...have a couple pics i'll post later.
-i've managed to clean up some parts and install them: seatpost, post clamp, headset, fork, stem, kickstand and headbadge...
-the bb cups are pressed into the frame and hopefully a little later today i will finish cleaning up the cranks/chainring and install those as well.
when i pulled the crank set one of the bearings, a single ball, was a gonner....super oval and ugly..as this little project has been a bit of a investment so far i thought i could just replace the single ball for next to nothing and keep rolling.. i went to bc as i'm sure chad would have given me the part, but he wasn't there so.....courtney (worked at canyon with her) rang me out for retail plus...whatever.... so i'll work on some of that a bit later on.
i looked at the fenders when i was pulling the stem out and realized how rusty they are, that's gonna be a project in and of itself...oh well......it will be worth it when i'm all finished up.
i also ordered a tank on ebay, well it's the wrong size...too bad as i like it and the horn is in great shape too....may look again after i get a little caught up on things
pics to come...
