Will be installing new Brake Shoes as these are dated 2010-  Great Job Rick writing on the shoes the date of installation on these.... A GREAT Process Everyone should follow.

Another thing that I have found... is to use Windex to clean the tires if you want to show them as looking Brand New!  Just spray and wipe them down with a micro towel- In the tread area a nice soft brush works good to work the Windex.

Got the first few pieces done for the rear wheel- now moving on to the Hubs and Spokes to get those cleaned up.

Even if I won the lottery I couldn’t build this. And certainly wouldn’t have enough to buy anything to put in it…. Shed envy.
I love taking stuff to bits - putting back together is another thing altogether.

Are those the same tires I put on?
Also put them on in 2010, and if they are I need to get me another set of Dunlop 606's.
Amazing work Greg!

Alright, dating parts I install is a new thing I need to do. What a stupidly simple but good idea.
