Sekines

The big red Sekine sold last weekend, along with the Lava Dome. I'm back in business again! It's good to get some progress made after a long hiatus.

Next up is a real challenge, another Sekine - but this time a women's frame, 5-speed, and pretty rusty.

I think I'll try replacing the forks rather than rescuing them - and going over the whole bike with white Tremclad. It's a shame to lose the nice pearl paint, but it's also a shame to let it rust away.

I'll also swap out the steelies for alloy rims and give it a total overhaul. Should be a nice bike!
