Spent a wonderful day in my shop on Sunday. Stoked up the old wood burning stove, and got it to a very comfortable temperature despite the fridgid conditions outside. Put my recent garage sale find up on the bike stand, and went to work. Stripped a really beautiful old Nishiki road bike down to the bare frame. I picked this bike up because of the beautiful lug work on the steel frame (yes, I am an addict...lugoholic!) I was surprised that for a bike that has been neglected for a while, everything came apart rather nicely...at some point, someone cared for this bike! I already have new hubs and rims and a cassette, so a few spokes, a BB and cranks, some bar end shifters and maybe some new brakes, and someone is going to have a great bike!
Stay tuned, my friends, as I know I will be back with questions!!
