>>1158895Is the drivetrain as fucked as the bars?
what drivetrain ? i dont see any drive chain
first step op is find a chain. run it single speed.
pump tires, tune breaks and take it for a ride and then carefully check the smoothness of the bearings in the
- wheels
- bottom braket
- pedals
- headset
dissamble and grease them if you are capable, then worry about aesthetics or flip it to someone else if its too hard. at least it will be ridable
i have restored quiet a few jap bikes and know the ins and outs. i got 2 miyatafor free in very much the same condition as your bike and spent AU $100 on new wheels tires and seat and it got a really decent single speed that got me through a very tough time. [pic related]
