Simply taking a couple of pictures of my recently purchased Peugeot UO-8, as I just got myself a new phone after like three years and now I have an okay "camera" again. I somehow really love to taking pictures of the bike and viewing them later to get motivated.

Prepped two more bikes to sell. Getting loose pieces for 6403 brake calipers (put into "the box" of hardware et al) took a lot of searching and figuring out what things looked like. I didn't take these apart, but a racing friend of mine did (I bought them/bought them back), hence the scattered nature of it all. Regardless, that bike (a Trek 560) is complete save for a chain.
My '74 Paramount had its rear brake bridge replaced (fillet braze attachment to seat stays) and an internal metal sleeve--where the caliper bolt goes through--built in. Great feature, but the inner diameter of the sleeve was about 7.3mm and the brake caliper mounting bolt is 6.0mm. I got reeeealll lucky at a local hardware store and found some 7mm x 0.45mm aluminum pipe. Cut it to size and filed to match the brake bridge and voila! No more self-rotating rear brake caliper!

Found out that Evaporust gel works pretty good on a very scraped up PR10, going to second round as this was pretty bad.

Polishing up a pair of Schwinn approved LeTour high-flange hubs, in an attempt to make them worthy of the new, shiny VO PBP rims I just bought from @speedevil. I think they'll do OK.
These are from the first bike I ever bought with my own money, a 1974ish(?) Schwinn LeTour. Moved that wheel set onto my Lambert frame I bought a few years later. Rusty, dented steel rims I put quite a few miles on, not yet knowing alloy was so much better. I'm glad I didn't chuck the rims before salvaging the hubs, races are still in great shape.

I put the finishing touches on the latest configuration of the ol' '84 Trek 510. Stripped the finish again and outfitted it with some Christmas presents, namely the Gravelkings, Nitto b135 bars, and Tektro levers. Took way too long to wrap the bars, but at least it didn't cost me anything

Here you go. The Simplex chain guard is made to be mounted on a Simplex front derailleur but since my wife doesn't want a front derailleur on her new town bike I had to make something that would do the job. I must admit I don't even remember what model the old derailleur was but any with this style clamp should work.

After i hopefully pick up some C&V truck parts for my '71 Cheyenne restification, ---- i will be turning a wheel in anger on an as yet to be chosen C&V bicycle as the temps today are above 50 for the first time in a long time!
Have not 100% decided on which machine will give me my workout today, but i am leaning towards the resto-mod DeRosa !

I am deep into refreshing a Rixe Club - 1958 ten speed. I just rebuilt the front hub and today I am trying to repack the cup and cone bottom bracket.
I am also trying to get my post count up enough to PM another user.

Transferring parts from my (too small) Marinoni to my fire red '85 Peloton frameset that was grubby and 'resting' for a little bit. Cleaned and waxed that frameset and am slowly putting parts on it. This is almost the first time in about two weeks I've wrenched on something. A gap that large in time is rare.

I built up a set of wheels and made my own nipple driver out of necessity. I purchased the Velocity Escape rims here on this forum. Laced them to a set of Shimano Tri Color hubs. I made the nipple driver from an old fork I had laying around. Without it, I could not get the nipples down into the rim that has no eyelets. It worked so well I may just sell them on eBay. They want $23 for a Park tool.

Applied the first coat of glue to a tubular tire and rim. Most of it got to where it is supposed to be. The rest got on me.

Indeed, I forgot the rules about pics or it did not happen. It will have to be later though. The Lascuacaveman is due to arrive in a few minutes and we will be off for a 2+ hour trek to the Seattle Swap Meet. Perhaps we will post of pic from that event. Stay tuned C&Ver's!
