Yeah I drink a lot and forget that I ever post pics online.
I also got a screen printing setup, and have been obsessed. I now have this 1 of 1 Elizabeth Fraser t-shirt that I've been dreaming about for a few decades.
>>1970316>Does that actually take care of all the rustYeah, completely gone. Understand that the material (the rust) will dissolve & dissappear. If it's deep pitting, etc, that will be completely 'on display'. That's why I mentioned the thickness of bb shells--most bike tubing is really quite thin. You might find you have some pinhole that goes all the way through, etc.
Someone at work told me about evaporusting a cast iron part, and it left this black sludge on the surface. He had to scrub it off & do it again. What kind of steel was your knife?
>>1977228Those VO candy cane seatposts. Can't stand how they look. Or that 'butthole sticker'. But they come in the odd sizes.
The atb I bought was specced for 26.6. I also have an old Panasonic that's similar, can't remember the year, early 80s.
But for this burgundy bike I bought a nice 26.8 Nitto S83 on Craigslist for 30 bux, box & everything. It was just too short for the guy's Rivendell (lol), with a supremely nasty gouge from the test fit.
Then I spent some $$ on a big fucking tap handle (has to take 1/2" square) and an adjustable reamer, to enlarge the seat tube ID by 0.2mm. I swear I'll post some pics, they're just on my camera camera.
>>1977493Nice. I fucking love Miyatas.
I was nerding out recently with a guy at the coop, and accidentally revealed that I have two of the same year, same model/spec. One set up as fixed gear, one as a road bike.
I can't believe I'm living this life.
Don't think I've posted this pic, a set of ders for the burgundy bike. FD came w/ box, very good, RD is good, but has some scratches near the one roll pin.
Had to make a custom tool to take the damn thing apart. Weighs 173g? Very unlike the olde Shimano Deore/II I usually go with.
