Continuing the trend of fixing shit that should be binned... @MCamb was kind enough to donate a lovely Concord in 531 to me.
I picked it up this morning and went down to work on it.
I got the BB out real easy. I heated the spindle with my TIG torch which loosened everything enough that I could undo it with some vice grips.
The seat post was another story. This is the first seat post I have lost to.
I am not allowed to use chemicals at work so in the end I gave up and replaced the tube.
We will see if it holds up or not.
New tube is joint to old tube with a sleeve plug. Like I do my forks. I think it will work.
Geometry is pleasing at 73/74 and hopefully adding track ends won't fuck that up too much.
The idea is to make a HDIJ tribute beater fixie.
I'll leave the frame ratty. Give it pink cantis and pink dynamo and black everything else. Uhh and the forks I made for the GT.
