The revolution will be seated.
In the small hours of yesterday morning I made some headway with the resurrection of old (mid '70s?) Alan Shorter frameset (using the 'Victory' groupset I bought back in 1988 when the frame came into my possession) which only narrowly survived a disaster which overtook the shed in which it was living some five or six years ago (long story);
When stripped-down I discovered that various 'bits' required a great deal of TLC and, sadly, the original toe straps which came with the 'Victory' groupset (back in 1988) were beyond saving so it now sports a pair of Christophe straps instead.
The brake cabling is now in place so all that is left to do is fit tubular tyres (on their way); re-fit chain; lube and adjust.
Has anyone here used one of these pens to do lug-lining and, if so, is there anything which might trip one up when using the thing?
Any advice will be appreciated!
Philip.
