Just picked up a Dale off the original lovely Lady owner which she had from 1994.
All stock with Shimano Rsx all around (derailleurs, brakes, shifters), mavic cp10 rims.
Nice dark green colour although a few deep scratches on the top tube.
Needs some deep cleaning, so gotta nick a few WD40 cans at work.
So far cleaned the cassette, hubs, spokes, rims and chain.
Next to do is to strip it as much as possible for further clean/grease and replace the worn out bits, ie:
New tyres and inner tubes
Bar tape
Saddle
All cables (?)
Wheel bearings
Few questions - are the rsx any good? Haven't had a chance to check them in action as all the cables are stretched and slacked.
Where do I get the proper cable set?
How do I find out and where do I get the wheel bearings?
Pics to follow. Will try to keep the thread updated.
