I am currently working on (shorts)

I bought a Tag Mclaren CD transport that someone had spray bombed.
Poorly. I knew there was a high chance it would never work. I bought a new laser and sure enough, it didn't fix it. So I began the enormous ball ache to turn it into a computer that streams music, videos and can play DVDs (region 1, all mine are R1).
So that's why no bikes, and no me. It has been a lot harder than I anticipated :LolLolLolLol:
Here it is after three weeks of work. Believe me to get it to this stage was a feggin nightmare.
I won't go into it I would be here a week. Needless to say I am still working away on it. I need to machine a piece in a bit to hold the DVD drive down.
I'll pop back when it is finished and explain how it works etc.
Midschoolfool:
Go CNC go !
Midschoolfool:
Nearly done.

Today I managed to get a very stubborn Suntour freewheel off of an OGK mag. I then stripped and cleaned both wheels and the hardware. I was going to do a sealed bearing upgrade but there was no need as the races and cones were nice and clean. I popped some new bearings in and then reassembled them. The OGK's still look like shit but run really sweet now, this was the plan as they are destined to go on a fairly rough but very charming lugged Apollo (80 or 81) project.
Tomorrow I will strip, clean and reassemble the freewheel. That's a job I really enjoy 👍🏼
I'm not even going to bother to try to upload any pics fistblump

I made myself a late coffee and fitted a Duro fat thin combo onto the OGK's. They are gumwall and black, the seat and grips are black so I thought I should match them up. I want an all Japanese build so if some used tyres that fit the bill show up I'll try to bag them.
