ORBO T6 Texan

[Wildcat]

I have another new frame. In keeping with my WW2 aircraft theme, this bright yellow frame will be a tribute to the T6 trainer planes from WW2.

I have a pile of parts to pick from with a bunch of new stuff also. This may be a 26" bike even though it's made for 27.5 wheels. Forks and handlebars are on order.

I pressed in the headset cups and learned a couple things. Do one cup at a time and don't apply any pressure to the bearings. This set has the bearings set in so they won't come out. I used the flat ends of the press, not the concave. I used one concave end on the bare frame when pressing in the first cup to keep it aligned.

I love your cool tools. I didn't know that about the sealed cup bearings. Great to know.
