Well, I’m now custodian of the setup that Jon V built from the frame from Noah Scape. It joins the 1971 that belonged to my cycling mentor 50 years ago. I recently threw some parts at it to make it roadworthy. I had un-built it maybe 6 or 7 years ago because, reasons. It’s probably going to get refined but it’s ok for now. The 72 is my size, the 71 decidedly not.
1972
1971
When I received the 71 some 10 years ago I tried to pull the cranks with the wrong extractor and munged the threading; ended up using a gear puller. I found another set and put the damaged arms in the bin. I took them out this weekend to practice using my new pedal taps. I decided to thread the proper extractor on them and with a bit of effort and lubrication, it threaded on and the second time in the tool ran smoothly. I don’t really need to use them but I wonder if they’re good enough to work now?
