Slightly less gritty Grandis - Stage II.
Hubs were a mess - front Tipo had bad cones and bearings (the races aren't great either) and a SNAPPED rear axle. I'd already down a couple downhills on it before discovering the snapped axle without any interesting results. This is one STIFF bike!
Interesting too is trying to find a Campy axle here in town - luckily I dug up a spare Miche hub with a metric axle.
Replaced the corn cob with a wide ratio freewheel and a new chain.
Treated the bare metal scrapes and spotted with a vaguely similar purple metallic paint for the present.
