I strung the rear brake last night. My Ace Hardware cable cutter is really bad at the one thing it's supposed to do. I ought to bin it and get a different one.
I picked up some more rims this morning. The rear, Araya, is another nutted one. I can't win! But it's in far better shape than the other two I have, it's clean and alloy and true. It's a wide one. At first glance it looks like I will be able to put the other QR into it. The front is a Weinmann hoop and a Maillard hub with a "Schwinn Approved" QR, and also better than the one I had. It has a silly plastic wingnut on the drive side and those snap-on retainers. Must have come from the Eighties!
Money in this project so far:
Incomplete bike cadaver: $50
Tubes and cables: $22
RD and rim strips: $10
Wheels: $20
More wheels: $25
I think all I need is an FD and I'll be on the road. Maybe that Suntour thing from my PDG fiasco would work.
