The last restoration from me. The Pink Schwinn.

<< < (10/15) > >>

Midschoolfool:
Good job Parappa ! that's it for today...

Midschoolfool:
The brake may come today. I say that because it's Yodel, so you never really know lol.

Postie should be here soon. Once they have both arrived I'll jump up in the loft and grab my taps.

Fingers crossed by the end of today it may just have brakes.

Midschoolfool:
Put the wheel in the fork earlier in anticipation of the brake coming. Positive thinking, like when you are waiting for a bus  :LolLolLolLol:



Sure enough it worked. We haz brake.



Need to sand back the chrome around the posts as the brake goes right over them for a really clean look. If this doesn't clear it will be f**king cruel.



That said I know a way to gain another few MM. Put something in the fork to stop the wheel going in so deep. There is so much meat on the drops it would be totally fine. Crank caps came too.



Now I need to go and get my tap.... In a bit.... After I have had some coffee....

Midschoolfool:
The kind of brake you let your mates test for you  :LolLolLolLol:


OMG it is evil  :LolLolLolLol:



Got the rear hooked up too. Will dial it when the wheels go on for good.

Midschoolfool:
Right. The last thing to do before leaving on Monday morning was this.



A lot easier this time, thanks to these things I bought when building my subwoofer.
