Hey all! Been a While! Still working on "Bluella"....She has been in the shop for a record-setting SEVEN months !!! (GOTTA find a better "bike Doctor"!) I had wheels re-laced, & thought I would bump this thread with a "before & after" of the rear hub...elbow grease is a poor man's friend! LOL!

Good to be heard from! Thanx! Nothing new unfortunately, She has been benched since July of 2015...was messing with valve shims & got in over my head...finally just threw up my hands, & took her to see the Dr. in February at IRS refund time...still waiting...re-laced wheels look great though! A set of nice chrome fenders, & I will have my 2nd body set together...next step, forever paint job!

Its fantastic seeing crappy old bits (the brake hub shown) turned into a great looking piece of art.Grumpy Ole Artist wrote: Hey all! Been a While!
