it has been a little while but...

holidays do that to you. hugo is moving along... lol. no actually he is hanging up next to me.
Progess check:

bottom crank axle (that $10 bargin) - i think is bent - ffs.
tourney cranks are on... the above still needs to be confirmed
i will have to get to the bottom of the crank issue. right now it look like the crank arm is possibly bent - not the cranks or spider to the sprocket. i will need to pick up a socket to undo the crank bolt on fb so i can spin it on that and test for crank spider arm straightness.

stem has come up a treat after has been fully wirebrushed, 000 steelwooled and now polished. looks smick as. i am really appreciating the "old school" feel now. headset has been fully overhauled and re-greased. the lock nut is very pitted but again, personality is becoming very apparent

bars, chopped! to the bullhorn look. not a perfect job by any means. i am indecisive as to whether or not i should actually leave the bars chrome/pitted at the stem or black enamel spray then. i think the latter.
i know i will be wrapping them with some toshi black cloth
