Happy new year to you all , busy morning in a somewhat chilly workshop but it’s business as usual here at Old Crockers, here we have a bicycle used for commuting so is out in all weathers . Picked it up with a broken chain , a broken front shifter and general seizure of bearings and brakes , I got cracking , rebuild of bearings and brakes to begin with , replaced the shifter along with replacement of all cables then cleaned and inspected the broken chain and replaced the link , set everything up again and gave it a general going over , back to my customer tomorrow so she can get to work again , not sure she’ll be happy about that but at least the bicycle is ready to go!
Next up is a complete rebuild of a rather neglected Specialized road bike so best refill the kettle , watch this space 🚴
