Re: Chantilly Lace (lace inserts) Beautiful! Momma JATS

Re: Velo Jardin-It is not the speed of the build, but the build! At the museum we worked very patiently and slowly with hammers (all kinds..my favorite was a little ball pein)...so the trick was patience. More coaxing the metal back into place than strength and speed. I am leaving the...

Re: I shall call him wilfrid the klunker ( springer undone) Ok I left the shop neat and clean for Wilfrid. I listened to Vitamin Spring Quartet, Adele and Coldplay. See you when you get home tomorrow! Momma JATS

Re: Velo Jardin-It is not the speed of the build, but the build! So I "hammered" out my fenders and cleaned up the frame. I used a technique I learned when I worked at the Transportation Museum in Pensacola when I was much, much (much) younger. So here is a couple of comparison shots...

Re: Velo Jardin-It is not the speed of the build, but the build! Well, I have the shop to myself this afternoon. Wonder what kind of mischief I can do.....muahahahahahahaha! Momma JATS

Re: Velo Jardin Thank you! I am going slow because I am not very knowledgeable. I have to watch you tube videos and research stuff that is really simple for you Masters of the Build. I have never done more than a simple tune-up on my bikes. Someone else ( :roll: ) did anything more...

Re: Velo Jardin Daily Update: Determined a game plan for the work, created the head badge, and worked on the fenders for a little bit. More projective than it sounds... Laurie

Re: Velo Jardin Update: A big hank you to Troy for teaching me how to use a new toy. Learned to use the "sawzall " today to cut goose neck off....played with heat...didn't work...did you know PB Blaster is flame-able? Guess I am going to learn how to do some welding...fun! So I pulled...

Re: Velo Jardin Honey, the little bathtub is for your bike and too small for the remodel. Yesterday was very productive as my bike is in the rack: I have stripped the bike down to the frame and forks...I am waiting for the PBB to work magic on the forks in hopes I do not need to replace...

Re: Velo Jardin I am definitely considering allowing the "patina" to remain with some slight embellishment. I am just tickled the PB Blaster has made it possible for me to start taking the bike apart. Even the crank arms are moving some. :roll: Laurie

Re: Velo Jardin Thanks! I will post some pics later today. I am a very slow-poke according to some but there was this fable about a tortoise and the hare... :wink: Momma JATS

Re: Velo Jardin Actually....I am currently working on that little matter. A case of P B Blaster has my name on it! :roll: But the climate here is very low humidity.....have to have a talk with the dummy who decided to use the bike as decoration. *Goes and looks at self in the mirror*...

Re: I shall call him wilfrid the klunker :D The question is- how many builds before the remodel can begin? We could just go ahead and gut it and say we started the remodel so it can be used as a more efficient paint booth? :wink: Momma JATS

Re: Velo Jardin Thank you! I love that chain ring too!

Re: Velo Jardin Thank you! :lol:
