all stripped,apart from 1 bit everything came undone,pedals freewheel cranks everything..mad
the stems like a pro neck but not,i had to undo the fat nut and slide it off the shaft thats in soak.
wheels are cleaner now they where all covered in clay

Pull the bars back a bit though

all stripped for inspection.still amazed that now the stems out ,every nut & bolt came undone easily,the stem was just tapped out this morning.
all axles and freewheel even came off with no agro.

just started the light restoration at the cost of a whole Â£1 ... 1 can of coke ,1 small bundle 00 wire wool
its taken about 1 1/2 hrs just rear part and forks,even refurbed the cheap copy mx again all lightly.
i may upgrade some bits but it did come this way.
