Tange bike --- part 1 (removed the bottle cage, pedals, etc.)



The front deraileur cable is mis-routed through the built in guides in the bottom bracket...

These pedals are very heavy.  Will replace them with light ones...



Removed this old bike computer mount and cable


Removed this clunky bottle cage


The two bottle cage bolts don't match...


Nice seat but it's in very bad condition.  Will replace it...



The seat post is aluminum but the top mounting area is pretty corroded.  Will try to clean it up.  Can't see a brand mark in the exposed parts.  There may be a mark in the lower portion that's in the seat tube...

Saturday, February 2, 2019 -- High Volume Rain!





Newly acquired HKS road bike detail pictures -- part 3

Dura Ace rear deraileur

Campagnolo rear drop outs

Will have to look up what this business is/was...  Typing in the name & cities didn't bring anything up in a Google search...

Will take this bottle cage off...

Dura Ace seat post

This is a nice Specialized seat but it's in pretty poor shape.  Will swap it out...


Specialized handlebar 

Dura Ace brake levers.  All the components on this bike are in pretty good shape except for the brake levers.  They're pretty scratched up...  Will file/sand them later to get to look a little better.


It's hard to read but the bearings on the hubs say Dura Ace...


The bar tape is torn on the RH side and a pretty dirty.  Will replace the bar tape.  Don't know what color yet...
