Well, a day at home with a nasty head cold, coughing up a storm...what to do? Oh, right...my shop is inside! In between hacking up a lung and downing a lake of fluids, I slowly finished the Fuji. Done and done, but no test ride until it's dry outside and I'm not coughing. I'll post some shots in sunlight when that comes back, but here's the gist:

Cracked chainwheel? Nope, just a bit of rag string. I also re-cut a new chainstay protector, other one was too short.

Fun project, it's killing me to just roll it back into the shop room and let it sit. Still, made me forget about being sick for the day! Oh, and you didn't think I'd leave that light brown tape on, did you?
