Fixing things.


Me and the bike that is my current little project.

Serious attempt No. 2 at freeing the stuck seat post.

I love this picture. So like him (and me) to pull silly/happy faces like this.

We've filled the seat tube with ammonia and it's standing to soak for I don't know how long. With any luck this will release enough of the rust to allow us to get the bloody thing out of the frame.

The bottom bracket was in a right state but it's been cleaned up and with some grease it should work again, though probably not particularly well with it being so cheap and rusted.
