One is enough!
Purchased 11/16/2013
Nearly stock but year of manufacture unknown. When reviewing BikePedia specs, it looks like it might be a 1994 with some 93 left over parts because the specs bridge both. Sellers pictures:

According to the seller (a flipper), the bike may have been a beach bike. It did not get much use but was exposed to salt water, hence the rust and corrosion.
The aluminum parts do have some corrosion but they also were anodized so the damage is slight. Sanding and polishing will bring unique quality that looks better than new when done.

Disassembly:All components were removed with the exception of the stoker BB. The frame was washed and dried. All components with the exception of the derailleurs were cleaned 11/18 with the wheels polished on 11/19. Chains are now cleaned and oiled.

Frame:The frame has a lot of rust and wrinkled paint with possible rust underneath. The rust is extensive enough to warrant repaint. Investigation of obtaining decals has resulted in none being found requiring custom decals. Detailed pictures and measurement will be required prior to stripping the frame. Decals have been procurred and are ready for application. See the following link for detailed pictures of the the frame after stripping: http://www.flickr.com/photos/1120948...7638854295965/




Striping was done chemically with a wire brush as a follow up. The fork was dunked in OA then wire brushed as well.

I didn't like the location of the reaction arm of the Arai drum brake as it rubbed on the frame. The picture isn'tin focus but you get the drift:


After striping, the frame was taken to a local welder that does repair on frames. The reaction arm anchor was moved from the location in the pic above to below the chain stay. Here is where I wanted the reaction arm to be located:


Here is the result:


I frequent a local bike coop and found a nearly NOS Arai in the bin with all the other brake calipers that didn't make it to the display case. $5 later it was mine and is in the picure above. The old one is in the first pic.

When I disassembled the frame, about a 1/4 cup of water came out of the captains seat tube. All the tube joints are blind without any holes! I may add some prior to painting. If you visit the link on the frame, you will see the amount of rust on the frame. Not all of it was visable when the paint was still attached. You can also se the amount of pittting.

The weight of the frame was found to be about 13 lbs. 9 oz.

Component final finish:The cranks Have been de-anodized using oven cleaner. Sanding is in process and poishing should improve the appearance in general.

Plans:Repaint will be powder coat in red. This frame doesn't warrant super quality paint and it will be protected very will with PC>

Replacement parts:A replacement saddle for the captain will be acquired for existing stock of extra saddles with a Brooks.
The Bell will need to be replaced with a brass one as it sounds more like a thud than a ring!
Both axles were repacked with grease. The rear hub will need new cones eventually. Looks like the rear axle was replaced with a solid one as I have a skewer that matches the front wheel skewer. May get a hollow one

New handlebar tape will be required was ordered.

New brake cable housings and and shift housings have been replaced. Existing brake cables were reused as well as the shift cables.

The bike was assembled prior to paint this week end. We did a trial run as described above.

A Suntour 7spd freewheel replaced the original and the barcons set for friction shifting.
