disassembly

Well my bike is now in pieces. This is exciting but very scary.


Tuesday, with some great help from Kent i took all the components off my bike, leaving just the frame, which will be taken to Seattle Powder Coat to be painted.

The bike was filthy -- riding in the rain on streets with heavy car traffic leaves a coating of black crap on everything. I do wash my bike fairly regularly, but it had gotten very bad. Wednesday i carefully washed each component and determined that the bottom bracket needed to be replaced but everything else was ok.
