Ha! Maybe it *is* thawing butterscotch! I've ridden in the sun two days this week--hardly know what to do with it!
I park the bike in my unheated garage at night, and in my (heated!) office during the day. Definitely has been "put away wet" over the winter. It's definitely rust. I've had the bike for close to a year and haven't pulled the stem or seatpost...hmm...guess it's time for that. Never overhauled a bottom bracket before. Not even quite sure how to get these TA Pro Vis cranks off! The bottom bracket is a sealed cartridge Kajita. (?) (Eeewww--dried-out worm on the bottom bracket--really time to clean the bike!!) Elliot Bay Bicycles is close by, maybe I'll run by there and pick up some FrameSaver. I have a small can of spray Boeshield I used on my motorcycle when I had one, but haven't tried it on the bicycle. Now would be a good time to have a second bike.... This is my sole means of transport, so I hope I can get it done over the weekend. Rob in Seattle -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
