Well, seeing as I can't currently afford another car to do up, and I need something to get me about on during the summer to help me get fitter etc I came up with a great plan!!

So i bought this.............

I thought this would be my addition to the forum section so off i went with my rusty spanners.... Unfortunately I havent got many pics as I was elbow deep in grease most of the time
Here's a few before pics to see the yucky state of it it before, its been sat in this hut out the back of work for the last 2 years!









So, the stripdown started! Didn't get many pics here, as I was too busy throwing tools around work


I then blasted it back to metal at work and repainted it with halfords rattle cans






The wheels were then stripped down, cleaned up, re-greased and reassembled. The rear cog set was a nightmare, millions or ball bearings!!!

Here's me putting the bottom bracket back together while watching tiesto



And then, it all went back together!!




Managed to do it all in less than a week, not bad seeing as i've never taken a bike to bits before. Took it out last night, and apart from the rear swing arm nearly falling off (forgot to do the bolts up holding the rear shock in ), all is well!!
