No wrenching on my own bikes this time of year - that's winter work. I did clean up the rust spots on my vintage Kreitler rollers and created a mounting stand. At the LBS I've been building lots of new bikes and doing repairs. A C'dale F600 came in recently with an odd feature - 9 speed fixed gear!! The free hub was locked up with corrosion - seemingly the owner had not noticed. "The front brake needs work".

And the Boss took in a vintage CCM which I'm still figuring out. Campy Record hubs on tubular rims, Suntour drive train, 26.8 seat post and some center pull brakes I've not seen. No name but a wee engraved logo on the pivot bolts that I cannot make out. I'll need a good light and a glass. Kinda fun them old sleds that ring nicely when you ting the top tube. Also kinda fun that the Boss keeps such a thing out on the main floor for a few days cuz he also thinks the old steel is cool.
