Hi All,
Here my latest project. Don't know the make, or origin, but Chinese is probably not far off the mark.
Really one of the oddest things I've come across.
Full suspension, as you can see, provided I can manage to link photos to this post.
Currently, the freewheel is seized, and hence a fixed gear. This might be desireable, I'm in two minds in whether I should replace the freewheel, or just keep the seized one. Trackstanding on wheels of this size is an interesting experience that might just warrant keeping the seized freewheel.
Stem is bent because Jenky James got excited and bunnyhopped on the poor thing. It's unlikely I can get a replacement stem from anywhere, any suggestions? Oak Cycles?
Otherwise in good condition, even if rusty. Could strip down and do a re-spray, but then the original blue is quite nice.
Jobs done up to date:
Headset was in a state. Refurbished with new bearings and Phil Woods grease.
Jobs to do:
Bottom Bracket completely stuck/seized. Needs opening up and seeing to. Freewheel mechanism seized - could be quite handy to leave that way. Rust here and there. Bent stem, possibly not safe, possibly need to source a frame builder to weld a replacement or fix the current one.
Ok, I'll do my best to add photos. Fingers crossed.
T.
