| PS. Is it possible to edit the thread title given what we've found out? Can't seem to see a way from here...? |

So, got a call this afternoon to say the frame's ready to collect!
BB faced and chased and a shiny new Cenatur chainset all in place. Big thank you to Primera of Bournemout for also chasing through the threads on the rear derailleur hanger and tensioning the headset while it was in. Really appreciate that!
Anyhow, soon as the frame was home it's on to the stand in the garage for the next job.
The rear dropout screws were pretty bent out of shape so had very little movement so I left them in to protect the threads during the powder coat. But, how to get the bent screws out of the dropouts..?
No problem at all in the end, hacksawed off the screws close to the frame...
...a little bit of tidying with a fine file and unscrewed them from inside the dropout and out they came!
I managed to source replacement screws from SJS Cycles last week and they screwed into place perfectly. Little drop of thread lock on the knurled knob to keep everything together and job's a goodun...
Another job done, still quite a lot to go but I'm pleased with tonight's work. I love details..! |

| The details make the bike...specially in these older steel frames. It's all about the jewelery! |
