Blue Racer Salvage
I’ve started salvaging parts off Blue Racer so it can eventually be scrapped:
- Front mudguard (gift)
- Rear mudguard (gift)
- Front light (thrown in with Secteur)
- Rear light (thrown in with Secteur)
- Front reflector (useful spare part; rear destroyed from 2 years of locking against things)
To do:
- Front wheel (nearly new, aluminium)
- Rear wheel (nearly new, aluminium)
- Front tyre (from Secteur)
- Rear tyre (from Secteur)
- Rear gears (the freewheel was re-fitted for the new wheel but I think the old cogs were transferred)
Something fundamentally wrong/weird with that bottom bracket. Brakes are always drifting out of adjustment. Saddle has disintegrated. Everything is now worn out. I never ride it and it takes up space in the tiny front garden.
Time for the great velodrome in the sky, I reckon.
