Four hours of mechanical fml fail
Cotter pins won’t seat, despite machining a press that should have assisted
Ruined the pins as a result
Ruined the tool I tried to customise
Setting up a stem and bars and discover the fork blades are borked so nothing aligns on a
1954 f&f with all the ‘60’s n ‘70’s Campagnolo drivetrain which I’d set my heart on being ready to shakedown ride, so that’s canned now
Try and remove another build BB but the threads are (now, lolz) clearly fucked
Have a pair of BB sockets but need bolts to tighten up for purchase between each face, but don’t have the bolt thread/tpi (but I do. Somewhere. In a fuckin box. In a fuckin place)
Gave up and switched to another bb seizure frame project and that now needs fizzyBleach treatments
And now all this is parked because neighbour needs help with some shit or other and I need to get some freelance work (as in work done for free m) done before tomorrow
Kill me now
