>>1848441Theres a substantial amount of rust spots, I have sandpaper and synthetic steel wool and dremel with bits, which will work?
>>1848442Youre right I will not do a teardown
But I dont like the front fork being mismatched. I dont know if I could find the gold paint. I was thinking of taking adhesive splatter targets from a range trip and pasting them around the fork. However I only have ball 7.62x39, 12ga target load and typical 1oz slugs, and cci "clean" 22lr right now.
Also the lady at the shop said get knobby tires for winter riding. When I was in highschool I biked to school on a picrel in dreadful, slushy GTA weather. And I did fine. I just wanna know if knobby tires help with off road riding. Urbanite so I dont know. Maybe ill go to the trail one day and find out. But for real though, its such a joy to ride.
