She's done! Way passed schedule and over budget. :lol:

I tried to keep as many of the original parts as possible, but ended up replacing a few things:

Getting there! I mashed up one of my brake calipers so had to order a new one. Hopefully a week or so before I can really go cruising.

Not sure if this was a good idea or not, but I laid down...

Thanks. Yeah, I did rebuild the BB. It's a pretty sketchy system on the Shogun. Any water/rust/dirt coming down the seat post tube flows directly into the BB. Not ideal, but my frame is too beat up...

Still waiting for some finishing touches, but took a short maiden voyage tonight. Great ride. I'm particularly happy with this hack for the crank (Purists look away!). So I went with a SS Retrospect...

Whoa. Yours is nice! Mine is a bit of a beater. I also made the noobie mistake of ordering new rims that don't really fit the style. Kind of a Frankenstein looking thing now.

Pictures coming...

I could use a little advice on the brake cable routing. The picture attached is the routing as I found it. I think I'd like a bit of a lower profile (shorter outers). Is that possible? Or will the...

Thanks for all the advice so far. This is going super smooth. Got everything cleaned up and I'm reassembling as the new bits come in the mail. Will hopefully be done by the weekend.

I'd like to replace the ball bearings in the bottom bracket. They're probably fine, but there is light pitting on them and they're cheap. Does anyone know the size? I don't have digital calipers to...

Baggied, ziplocked, and labeled. ;)

I've also been photographing the bits as I disassemble. That way I know the washer positions and such.

Speaking of, what do you guys do for torque values?...

Great info. Thanks a ton.

Spent the day stripping mine down and it looks ok. A few more rusty scrapes than I'd like, but I'm going to continue unless I find something major. I know it's...

Awesome. Thanks.

I'm pretty familiar with pullers for press fit pieces. I have a ton of experience restoring vintage motorbikes. First time bicycle refurb though. So I'll probably butcher the...

Damn, that's sexy. What type of rims and levers did you put on it? The wheels are 27in, right? Anything else not stock?

In the picture of the crank I just posted, you'll see a large slotted screw head that appears to be holding the crank arms on the axel (or maybe it's a dust cover). Is there a special tool to remove...

The frame is a little big, but it will work. I have an inch or so before the top tube hits my boys. I ride an All-City Nature Boy right now and love it. But it's pretty new, so I don't like leaving...

Awesome, thanks.

Does anyone know if this is SAE or Metric hardware?
