A Finished Restoration: The White Peugeot

admin — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 16:22:11 +0000

My latest endeavor in bicycle restoration was a huge success. The frame: a 1984 Peugeot, French design and Canadian built. After dismantling the frame, we stripped the paint with acetone and wire-brush bit. We added three coats of rattle can primer, five coats of white and four coats of lacquer.

I replace the stripped aluminum cranks with 1986 Raleigh cranks and a corresponding chain ring, painted to match.

Then I installed new bearings in the bottom bracket and headset over a thick layer of fresh grease; new Alexandra Rims, Specialized seat and bar wraps. Original parts amounted to: brakes, bar, frame, peddles, bottom bracket and headset.

A Night with Joe Lally and My Flag is On Fire

Music is good for the brain, said Joe Lally, former bassist of Fugazi, as he prepared the microphone. Lally sang somberly to the crowd, reminding us of the beauty and ugliness of America. It was as though our ship was heading for an iceberg. He was accompanied on this sinking ship by My Flag is On Fire and the scenery was beautiful.

Later in the set, Lally, walked off the stage and joined the immediate crowd for an A’Capella piece on war. He challenged our conceptions on the word ‘War’ and delivered a grave reminder to events taking place overseas.
