Well its off to the powdercoater tomorrow for the mixte. Today after work I stripped most of the paint off and sanded down as many of the countless little dings in the frame. I also took it to the boys at Bonney lake Bike shop of Sumner to have the bottom bracket threads chased. One side of the outside of the bottom bracket looked like it had been hit multiple times and when I had done the mock up I noticed the threads were a little boogered (thats a tool and die term) up so I had them chase the thread and it looks like its gonna be aces now. I should have it back in about a week or so depending on when I want to drive up there again. I figured since I have to go to South Hill Group Health tomorrow I might as well take the frame to Kens
