Midschoolfool:
Always wanted one. It's time..

Midschoolfool:
Fork is done.





Will do the steerer tube tomorrow.

Midschoolfool:




Did the top bolt too earlier.

Midschoolfool:
Ok the steerer is done. It was probably the only other thing (other than the frame) that needed painting so I wanted it done.

Went up and dug out the Profile axle. Was fine. Tiny gouge in the middle (god knows)  was stopping it going through the bearings, so I sorted that. Need to go up and look for a sleeve later. I also got all of the sticker crap off the frame. I hate doing that also (more than sanding) and the frame was pretty filthy. Have removed the left side grip and lever too for when the Paul one comes.

OK, so I said I am hopeful that the only thing to paint now is the frame. I had a choice with the brake. Either buy a can of etch primer for about 8 quid and etch and paint it, or, go for flat alu. I chose the latter. It cost the same. If it's not anno then it's paint, which means if this doesnt work then the stripper will.



I'd really like it to match the lever. So we'll see. Tomorrow the spokes should arrive so I will have plenty to be getting on with then. May sand and prime the frame on Sunday, depends how knackered I am and how the weather is.

Midschoolfool:


Right, now the fookers won't rust.
