Here's the spots on the chainstay before and after I took the kickstand off:
So looking at it in the daylight those dents may very well be part of the design. What do you think?
I'm going to hopefully pick up some used tires tonight, maybe regrease the rear hub or at least have someone take a look at it. The front was really crunchy but after being at my place and the ride it seems to have loosened up a bit. The rear is really resistant though, may need a new rear wheel.
Also - can I get brifters for this? I really don't like having the shifters so far away. Figure if I get those then I'll replace all the cables after that.
What's a good way to take some of that rust off? Steel wool? Sandpaper? Figure I'll knock it off then hit it with some black Rustoleam.
Any other suggestions welcome, thanks!
