1972... just one more year and I am out of high school!

Recent developments with the rebuild of the Bott:

One front hub cone (replaced at some distant moment in time) is the WRONG type; as a consequence, the WRONG size bearings were used (corroborated by the very astute Andy, guru and proprietor of Yellow Jersey Cycles here in Madison)... hence, the Hub bearing cup on that side is torn to hell (arrrgh!) Mssr. Andy points out this is the lesser of the two Campy hubs and not worth the cost to rebuild (new cup/new cone + install labor 60+ bucks).

I will likely use a suitable budget priced hub to get the wheels rolling. At first blush, it seems like a shame... but I want to stay away from turning this into a money pit.

Bike is cleaning up nicely. Fenders need some attention (new stays)

should have it roadworthy soon.
