Current Projects chat and miscellany

Today I leant a great lesson, buying bikes from customers is not great.
I bought a tatty green holdsworth SS bike off a customer, after he brought it in for a puncture.

List of slight issues:

• Too small for me.
  
• Stem seized
  
• Seatpost seized
  
• Headset fucked
  
• BB seized and fucked.
  
• Chain mummified
  
• £0.50 plastic pedals - nuff said :P
  
• Brakes fucked
  
• V brake levers for callipers
  
• Paint in very bad condition, decent amount of rust
  
• Rear hub fucked
  
• Front hub doesn't really turn.
  
• Freewheel is dead.
  
• White tyres.
  
  

List of good things:

• Holdsworth badge is very good nick.
  
• Has a new innertube I fixed for the guy before buying the bike
  
  

So, a good buy then.

We had fun after work :)
