the guy with the bike was a real nice dude and I had the spare time last week. That said I don't wanna go back to Long Island in a car again for a while (on a bike or train, OK).

mkeller, the fenders are aluminum and I think the rims are too. A magnet won't stick to the rims...
The bike looks rough but its all cosmetic. Some pre-Drew did a real mess of a paint job on the fenders, rims and frame apparently using a roller and brush.

Rhm, thanks for all the links and pics... I'm checking into those now. As for the oil ports, they are all identical on the Front & Rear hub and the Bottom Bracket.
