Wish I had a lovely vice like that in my shed
Record. Proper bit of kit they are. Itās worth visiting your local car boot sales etc. Iāve seen a few for sale over the years. A couple of years ago whilst cycling I was passing through Redcar. I visited a local boot sale at the racecourse and there was a lovely Record 36 for sale for Ā£30! Iāve spent about half an hour, squatting down beside it, scratching my head, trying to figure out how to get it to London on a fully loaded touring bike, before finally some guy bought it.Wish I had a lovely vice like that in my shed
Love the 1/2 Trac! Looking forward to seeing more on it.Hope the second bath will help with the rust without anymore lacquer damage. I need to get some Evaporust for my (c)rusty Titan 1/2 Trac. Luckily it's just powder coated so pretty robust vs. a sprayed lacquered finish. I probably need to remove the stickers in places (hopefully with just hairdryer/heat gun) so they can be saved as I'm not sure they'll like to be submerged in Evaporust over a long period of time.
Thanks! The 1/2 Trac is a beautiful unusual beast of a frame. Really looking forward to trying to make progress, but lots of other things getting in the way at the moment.Love the 1/2 Trac! Looking forward to seeing more on it.
Evaporust is good stuff. The decals on both frames that Iāve treated with it seem unaffected, but good point as itās something Iāve not really thought much about. The other frame came up real nice, all of the rust magically disappeared. It turned black, but a bit of gentle scrubbing with fine wire wool soaked in GT85 revealed lovely raw steel.
I might try to plug the bb, tape the vent holes etc and fill the frame. I will report back soon.
