Refurbishing Very Old Bike

[DebW]

Could just need a wheel true. But, because of it's age, it's possible some spoke nipples are frozen. An overhaul should be possible, but take it to someone with patience who will oil the nipples and give them time to loosen. Also, with a 25 year old bike, if you plan to ride this very much, get all the bearings repacked in grease - old grease ceases to be grease. This kind of overhaul might cost you $150, or do it yourself for the learning experience. Alternately, drip oil into anything that moves and just enjoy riding it.

That upside-down bike was making me dizzy.

But now every thing else is upside down!

And who tied it to the floor?

There's a lightbulb on the floor. That's dangerous.

and upside-down gas cans. Very dangerous. I liked it better the first way!

BWAA WHAA HA HA !!! Thx for straightening my girl out. Looking at that pic and then walking into my garage gives me vertigo lol.

Here's a pic of her off the hooks.


Here's a family pic. Oldest to youngest, left to right.


The younger siblings were jealous, so had to take their pics too.

Mtb... happy to be wedged in a tight brush spot.


Roadie girl... upset she's bringing up the slow rear.


The MIXTE didn't need to be stood up against the bushes because she's got a *kickstand* wooooo.

I don't think that's a mixte, is it? Because the top tube doesn't go all the way to the rear hub? I can't be sure.

No mixte, step-thru. Or according to Trek's designers, "staggered".
