I did a post a while back titled "All Original What That Really Means".<br />Although I did not write it for this purpose, I think it would make an excellent reference for anyone restoring an old road bike for the first time. You can find the post by Google searching the title. Or it should be listed at the bottom of my blog page on the Label list.<br />There are also some Fuji restorations on the same label list. Good Luck with your restoration. I hope you find some useful info on my blog. By the way, That`s great! S.O.B.<br />"saver of bikes" That would make an excellent tee shirt! <br />Cheers, HughHughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12986498277947032639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4155039544820521548.post-2781629159892726832011-11-09T22:10:04.699-05:002011-11-09T22:10:04.699-05:00Although I don't plan to ride it myself, i jus...Although I don't plan to ride it myself, i just started working on a 1985 Fuji Gran Tourer 12 speed. It's a 'found bike' - it had been in someone's garage for many years, and even though it was unloved and unridden, it IS in remarkably good shape. It has no chain, and I'll need new tubes and tires, but I was wondering if you could pass along any "gotchas" I might have to watch out for working on this bike.<br /><br />My blog - with a picture of this bike is <a href="http://louceel.blogspot.com/2011/11/wordless-wednesday-project.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>.

And coupled with lowering the stem I think it will be bearable until I can build a 57-58 cm.<br /> Also I have decided to "get in shape" I am going to watch my diet closely and make sure I get some exercise every day. This morning it was 40 degrees Fahrenheit when I rode my bike into town for coffee. I recently purchased a vintage "Schwinn Exerciser" which I will ride when it is too cold to ride outside. Or when I need to add some more miles to my winter ride. Having a few health issues is no longer going to be an excuse not to exercise. From now on it will be my motivation.

Although this set-up is working fine so far. I do need to shorten the cable housing a bit though.

It is "3M Trim and Detail Tape" It can usually be found in the paint department. I mention this because the other colored tapes I have used in the past do not work anywhere near as well.<br /> CheersHughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12986498277947032639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4155039544820521548.post-37561565243193486712011-10-29T08:57:35.641-04:002011-10-29T08:57:35.641-04:00I like the idea of the stem pad/cover especially a...I like the idea of the stem pad/cover especially after seeing the video on how to skid a fixie.
