Well...been off work...bored....and after reading Rad for hours decided I would finally get my old Lazerlite out from behind the fridge. Caked in dust and looking really sorry for itself. Gave it a bit of a clean....had taken some before pics and some inbetween.....and when I went to take some after shots....I realised that it's not really a good idea to have your camera standing behind the bike when you throw a bucket of water over it

The serial number though is T3H1472. It has a Suntour stem....Suntour sealed hubs...Diacompe brake, Ukai 1 3/8 rims, balding Comp III tyres, as for the crank..does Hanabishi mean anything to anyone? No idea what pedals they are, just says VP-767. Everything still spins nice on it though, although some rust is starting to appear in the usual places.

Now all I need is a new camera

put the cam on top of a radiator, it will be fine!

I managed to save a Sony from the floods at our Carlisle office by putting it in the airing cupboard for a week.

Sold it on Ebay

Then get us some pics.

Actually...there is an old Raleigh racer behind there too. The ku's not going back there, mind you....from a distance you wouldn't think it was over 20 years old so maybe it's done some good being there.

Hanabishi made some nice cranks...seen an advert for them somewhere in a magazine.

kusam · « **Reply #9 on:** January 19, 2006, 04:45 PM »

Just a plain 3 piece crank...which is actually quite thin when you look down on it

Can't be Orbs fridge, his would only have lager in it.

AJWD · « **Reply #11 on:** January 19, 2006, 08:11 PM »

I wouldn't put it on the radiator. Put in on a chair by it, so it dries slowly. A mate of mine who deisgns them told me that, so it must be true!!

kusam · « **Reply #12 on:** January 25, 2006, 12:21 PM »
