Adding truss rods and closing this thread. Next step bottom bracket and rear wheel. To those able to complete their bikes...congrats. To those like me, another night.
I would like to cleanup and try out the old wheels that came with.
The front looks good. Clean, grease, paint, tire.
The back has a bendix but sort of a mess. Rust and rubber needs stripped off. Anyone has suggestions to 60 year old glued rubber or electrical tape off?
I am thinking a heat gun...
Still trying to save that crank! Maybe put the crank in a donor frame and put a broken pedal in the bent arm so you can measure its trueness during the bend. Good luck with the challenge.
