Right, progress:
Today's start point:
New bars:
Grips and shifters fitted, brakes cabled. Badly, will shorten another day.
Band-on DT shifters removed, and...nope, the new Tiagra cable stops don't fit, or to be accurate, the bolts are too big. >>>>drawing board.
There seems to be a small square braze-on beneath the shifter mounting point...Or is it a bodged up repair?
Fitted Norco saddle and a chromed saddle clamp, just to pay some lip service to colour co-ordination!
Other things checked: took off NDS crank with new box spanner - 14mm end. Had a go at BB as there was play. Lock ring came off easily, bringing the cup with it. managed not to drop any bearings. Needs a good clean and regrease, but replaced it, no play, runs smooth. Refitted crank with new allen bolt and seal, and fitted similar to DS crank. Except the 14mm end of the new box spanner didn't fit. The 16mm end did. Just as well I got one with two ends!
That's it for today, getting cold and dark.
