It’s a busy week, but I need to step up the search for a large road bicycle frame ( 61cm+). My current frame needs a lot of love which I’m willing to give. Hell, I’ll never give it up or let it down. I definitely run around with it but shall never desert it. Damned good bike frame. Getting to the actual work, I’ll have to strip the paint, sand it where there is some deep rust, take a dremel and remove cable clips which are beyond saving, and give it a new paint job. I look forward to doing it though without a new frame to transfer my parts to, I’ll have to wait.
I don’t think I can put it off another summer, but if the need calls hopefully “my other car” can take the hit for another year. It’s actually kind of sad since I’d rather take the time to treat the rust on my bike which I use for probably 1.5-2 seasons out of the year than treat the rust on the actual car which I use all year. I guess it’s due to the fact that there are junk yards out there full of Cavalier doors whereas I can’t find a junkyard full of large-sized bike frames. Well it’s that or I don’t really care if the damn door rusts. I’m keeping *that car until it falls apart.
*Unless a white turbo-diesel mid to late 70’s Mercedes drops into my lap at a reasonable price
