CCM Marauder build

[xddorox]

Well it was nice enough to ride today so I took this thing out and decided to get the build process going. I intend to do a resto/custom/rat job to it. Clean what I can, modify what I can't and preserve the original finish by cleaning it and shooting it with a few coats of clear lacquer. I just can't replace the original stickers with expensive repops. I already spent $90 on this thing for the last NOS seat and chainguard probably in existence, grip tape and the bike itself, I don't plan on spending a lot more.

Here's the bike with new seat and chainguard

The fork that needs TLC. Sad thing is I had a NOS fork like that lying around for 5 years and I tossed it some time ago.

This issue will have to be addressed. I know a friend who deals with a good welder that can fix this.

The stripped frame ready for clean up.

sweet bike! i have a fork similar to that, but i dont know if it would work with your bike. if you could measure it, ill see if its the same. if so, you can have it. hopefully duties wont be too bad on it.

I started on cleaning up the chrome from rust by using Aluminum foil and Mother's polish. Comes pretty good and a lot cheaper than replating.
