The pic's are from me phone and they are taken in the conservatory under a shity bulb,,,,, it will continue like this too,,,,i filled my shed with "turff" and logs for the fire, after last years LONG cold spell i wasnt gonna be caught out again. So although the conservatory is a compleat mess at least im nice and warm while messing about with ( mini bike )

Mini Bike's frame and swingarm got de-greased this evening

I'm pulling a mate up on a favor he owes me for a while now,,,,,he's gonna sandblast for me when he gets a chance,,,,Frame, Swingarm and wheels, and probably brake calipers later.

As i wait for this to be done i can get on with other bits,,,,,(eg. stripping,cleaning)

So far,, im enjoyin it,,,its been years since i done any restoration project on a bike.

Front caliper

CameraMiniBike003.jpg

Bars stripped,,,,,, after snapping a bolt in the rear wheel i was being carfull not to damage the presious bar clamps,,,,,dont want to be buying new ones !

CameraMiniBike002.jpg

Forks stripped,,,,,,,,almost !!!,,,,,,,, again carfull so i wont have ta buy new top an bottom yokes,,,,,these pieces are small and fragile.

CameraMiniBike004.jpg

I say almost because,,,,,, i dont Yet see any way of taking the stanchions outa the lower legs. I thaught there might be a circlip's or something there when i removed the dust seal,,,,but no. Theres no nut or anything down the inside of the stanchions either. The forks are basic,,,,lower leg, spring, stanchion,,,,,,thats is, no oil or nothing. I just hope the spring wasnt put in as the forks were being made,,then the bottom lugs for the wheel welded on,,,,if this is the case then there is no way inside for me to clean an free things up !!!

Some of the things on this bike are wierd,,,like the forks, and every single nut and bolt has thread-lock on them. Me is a thinkin these bikes werent meant to be takin apart after they were built,,,,,,,,,,,, they prob think people just throw them away when there bored with them...... HA HA,,,,,,, BUT NOT MY MINI BIKE !
