Today's project- redo frankenbike:
It came from a trash can 25 years ago, and has been a favorite ever since.
Lots of rust and things on the "to do" list. Disassembled, sandblasted, mounted water bottle cages, and converted the rear brake bosses from 26 inch to 700c. I got good alignment, and then proceeded to run out of acetylene remounting the rack bosses. This area has a lot going on with the rack, fenders, and brakes. Tricky real estate, but I think I got it figured out. Next step- find a welding gas store.
Good progress for a day though!
Lot's of corrosion-
vvv-The repositioned brake bosses turned out nice. I just melted the old ones off and "walked" them up the frame. I went heavy on the brazing on purpose because they are brakes, but the joints cleaned right up. I was so close to brazing the other rack mount and then acetylene went kaput! Arghhh!!!!
