The zip ties might be a good idea for hookless rims to enable higher pressures and lower rolling resistance.

I managed to open the video, separate from the post https://video-lax3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/o1...c_store_type=1 From there I could save it (right clicked while it was playing), but no idea how to re-share, can't upload to BF? or at least I don't know how. I think all vids on BF are links to videos hosted on other sites?

All the parts not removed are those that require bike-specific tools (BB tool, headset cup popper, chain tool

At least the "Shin impact" will hurt less with these plastic pedals than a set of 80' bear traps!

Also a pretty good deal - https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...539653027607/?

The other, a verdant gem from the late 90s, promises to be your trusty companion through rugged trails, gravel paths, and wherever your cycling journey takes you. Whether you're a seasoned rider or a newcomer eager to embark on thrilling rides, these bikes are primed to elevate your cycling experience to new heights. Don't miss out on the chance to own a piece of cycling history and embark on unforgettable adventures."

I especially like the method of securing the brake torque arm to the fork. Not too clear on what's going on with the front axle, either.
