I got this cruiser off a GC on here.
It is in pretty good nick;
However I took her for a ride around the street I live in and the chain snapped
I was going to the bike shop anyway to get two white tyres for her. The chap there gave me a new joining link.. all good.
However in the spirit of OS I decided to strip her down and put her back to gether, better, stronger, faster. However having avoided owning a bike since I was 12 or 13 I have never done bike stuff.
So
1) how do i remove these pins?
2) There are oiling holes in the hubs, what do I put in these? Engine oil, grease, snot?
3) Back pedal brakes, the ones on the bike worked, but not as well as I remember them to, how do I adjust these bad boys?
Plans involve keeping her looking original, not repainting her, leaving the rust on, replacing the pump with one that goes, maybe some pannier bags and a dynamo light.
Feel free to comment, give advice etc on this thread.
