And stripped down the bottom bracket without any problems

Progress is slow on this one , but I sneaked it into the kitchen tonight for an hour and managed to cable up the mechanisms and dropped a chain on .

Well after 6 months I have had my first brief road test on this Knight .

The road test revealed a couple of niggles that need sorting before I go any further hopefully they will be easily sorted .

Managed another 6 miles on this Knight this morning , rides nice just got to be weary of the toe overlap but otherwise very nice indeed
