Swapped clipless pedals on one of the curb bikes to Chester RaceFace pedals I snagged from the "used pedals" pile at the LBS for cheap. These are great all around pedals for around town, broad platform with spikes. (Not great if you tend to put pedals into your calves though). The left pedal is "righty loosey" on bikes. Required WD40 and a rubber mallet on the wrench to remove the left pedals on both bikes. #BikeRepair #BikeRestoration #BikeTooter

I've spent the past 3 days restoring a semi-abandoned #bike I got for 30€ which had been left outside for 2 years, to make it a good commute vehicle for my best friend. Sadly, I didn't take too many progress photos of the #bikeRestoration but here's the final result!

May have found a container for a future ebike battery. Old cigar/tobacco box. I suppose I can paint it another color, if I don't want to advertise whatever product this is, LOL. #bikerestoration

Hmm, wonder how I will open this ebike hub. Pretty stuck. PB Blaster time, probably! I was going to leave it be, but the crank hub and front wheel hub were xpmpletelt devoid of grease, and this can't be much better. 2010 technology... #biketooter #bikerestoration #ebike

Sigh. So much work to remove this paint completely, yet, partial paint removal drives me to OCD. (No financial reward in stripping this down to bare metal and repainting...only my likely annoyance if the finish shows the unevenness later, LOL) #bikerestoration #BikeTooter

Free 1974 Fuji Special Tourer bicycle restoration, done! It's kinda loud, ha ha. My first attempt at repainting a bicycle with a custom paint job. #BikeTooter #BikeRepair #BikeRestoration
