Miele Bicycle -- Cleaned the Seat Post Bolt, Installed a different seat & Placed the assembly on the Schwinn Paramount -- Part 3
 |
| First cleaned all the parts using a cleaning fluid and water... |
 |
| Cleaned the post on the wire wheel to make it look pretty nice... |
Miele Bicycle -- taking off bottle cage, pedals, bike computer, bar tape & brake levers -- Part 1
 |
| Shimano 600 groupset is equivalent to the current "Ultegra" groupset. Dura Ace was the top of the line back in the days of the 600 and still is today. I read that the Shimano 600 was also called the Shimano 600 Ultegra at one point. Don't know how true this is... |
 |
| Took off the reflectors. The top pedal has a section that's pretty bent. |
 |
| Bent the pedal straight using a punch and hammer. It's pretty good now. Will clean the pedals because they're not bad and can still be reused on something. |
 |
| I didn't know TREK made bike computers (in the late '80s or '90s?) |
 |
| To take off the brake levers, need to remove the brake cables too. This is the rear brake & cable. Need to cut off the crimped end so that the cable can be removed. |
 |
| Cable cut. |
 |
| Removed from the brake assembly. |
 |
| Someone drilled holes in the aluminum handlebar to route the brake cable housings through them. This does not look to be by design. |
 |
| Removed the rear brake lever and related components. |
 |
| This is the rear brake cable housing coming through the drilled hole in the handlebar. |
 |
| Need to cut the front brake cable also. |
 |
| Front brake lever and it's related components. |
 |
| This is the front brake cable housing coming through the drilled hole in the handlebar. The bike was in a minor crash before. The hole is deformed because the bar is slightly bent at the hole. Due to the hole being drilled at this location, it creates a week spot and in a crash, it's understandable that it bent there... |
