ok so i currently have this old school gem in my garage at the moment.
http://forums.farkin.net/photo/data/500/P1010132.JPG
the specs at the moment are
-tange cromo tubing 60 cm
- shimano exage
-175 mm sugino cranks
-arraya rims
unfortunately the frame is rusty and the chain, chain rings, 5 speed cassete, and rims are in need of replacement.
i have decided to strip the frame to bare metal and get it powder coated black and replace the group set with a late 80s early 90s build kit what the best way to remove the rust?
i want to use it as a training bike as the sizing is perfect and is beautifully built and so good to ride.
now this is where i need fellow farkers help i need to source a group set that will suit it and am having difficulty sourcing them where are they?
also rims the hub spacing is not as wide as my current model bike however the front is the same what wheel set will fit it?
the last problem i have is the cranks i like them they were fairly high end back in the day. they are aluminium so im going to get them powder coated in the original white it they have and it has a 54 tooth chainring. I to keep the current ratio will current chainrings fit.
any help will be greatly appreciated i will post pics when the parts come back from the powder coaters
