HI,
FInally got the bike,

The rear axle was very dry and dirty sound like sand in the cassete and the bearing was a we bit crunchy..I asked a local shop to clean it for me due to
the unique bearing bolts that were buried in the center of the hub. I could't reach the bolts with my CAr tools.I pulled the wheel and took it to the shop . any who he said thirty and then charged me more my guess is it needed a race or bearing. Ill get the wheel tomorrow and see how the bike rolls...
so It may have been a good idea to have him do the work. The chain after a good soaking was pretty rusty so I had him pull me a new one he reccomended a 6 speed chain???? More to follow I am sure
psps Would it be in bad taste to put a brooks seat on this bike my original is falling apart and my behind likes the B17... AS storm cloouds gather hey it is a Japanese bike right..
