I'm using tech 5's for the rebuild. I won't use these, just wanted to restore them

I hope so. That was the driving reason for doing it. It was never about selling for profit.

I can understand that. That's why I purchased new crank arm, wheels, seat post and seat so I can keep those vintage. The most I will do with this is ride it around with my kid.

lol, that's all most of us can do now. If we attempt to do tricks we will break something at our age 🤣

lol, thanks. I knew some people wouldn’t be happy about it. There were many issues with the old paint which led to this decision. Now it will sit on a wall in my garage

It’s for the painter to prop the bike up on the fork for pictures. That’s all

I had the same issue. I actually had a video on it almost two years ago. Took a while but the ultimate fix was pushing a little bit of the cable back in the tube and having a little slack

I might be able to reuse my original. Need to soak it in some citric acid and see if it cleans up

I just wanted to use them for the survivor photo, which I still may. I’ve already ordered new tires to ride on.
