Red: Parts Hunt

Preparing to place my first order to Ohio Cycle, and have been combing through their extensive catalog.  Had a lot of parts on my list, but then after checking the bike, realized that I don't need them, already have them, or they're for a different model.  Never hurts to check twice...

I need to refine my technique, but happy to say this tie-down idea seems to work pretty well.  At least let me work on either wheel while keeping the bike (relatively) stable.



Shiny new steering bearings and races.  I installed the races without the bearings, just to see how it would go.  Next time I'll grease up the bearings and install everything (hopefully without losing any).



"Discovered" that I already had the lower races, though I'm glad I just got the new set.



But even happier to find I had both the washer and the dust seal already (given that Ohio didn't carry them).



I need to steal Viola's fork stem lower nut (this is Roxy's), as it's proving tough to find.



Finally unboxed my rear fender and it was mirror shiny.
