So need to get the Pioneer updated and ready to ride, don't really like the name Pioneer so she is getting named Fly.
So i planned for the missus to pick me up and to pop the wheels off and pop the whole lot in the boot, not so, wheels where a bitch to get off and with rear mudguard not wanting to come off there was no way it was going in.
So after a long walk home with the frame (i got picked up by a mate halfway home,not too bad) i got to have a prope look and i think she is a beauty, frame is in a lot better ncik than the Lizard, more normal sized bottom bracket than the Lizard as well.
The extra wheel i picked up with the quick release ahd to go back to the shopa nd they quite kindly swapped it for an alloy freewheel so it looks like i will be running a freewheel on the Fly and a freehuib on the lizard, the axle is near perfect in line with the frame, only needs a few mm in adjustment when i get my cone spanners.
Picked up another front 700c, the Raleigh steel one was rusted and the axle was bent so a new one was needed.
Bottom bracket overhaul next
