Hello
I'm a cyclist who enjoys doing local shopping trip etc; on my folding bike called Aggie. I bought the bike second hand around 5 years ago, but she is I think quite old maybe 1970s.
I want to give her a new paint job and some new brake cables, but am having some trouble. I've nearly stripped the frame but to get the final pedal off I'm told I need a crank puller, but not a metric one as she is an old bike?
I've also been advised the BB arm has been machined for a cotter pin (sorry above my head!) but there is no cotter pin. I'm told it doesn't taper either which is usual to attach a crank puller.
I have no idea what make it is as there is no badge or logo on the bike!
Any advice would be very welcome
