Had a session in the garage this morning moving things around .
So Woody the woodrup needs de dusting and fitting of pedals etc etc before it can be ridden.

Dawes Jaguar will be accessed and then crack on getting that rideable.

Had a bit of time tonight looking at the Dawes Jaguar and what I hoped was air bubbles under the transfers was not it was in/under the paint so a quick rub down and the tubing looks good so no to decide what to do?

For what it would cost me to have it blasted and powder coated I could easily pick up another bike in good condition.

Spray.Bike paint advertises as "Powder coat in a can" and on one bike I've painted it has held up to the promise after several years.

Had to nip up the headset on the Woodrup tonight as I had started to get a bit of sloppy feeling and noise from it.

Project Galaxy gate has been collected.
A quick fettling session sorting out front tyre puncture, removal of carriers and a bit of a drive line de gunk .

And also gave the front hub a clean and some fresh grease.

De rusted some of the front wheel spokes where required.

Hubs are dated 86 and 87 so guessing 1987 ISH
