It is almost a bike! Ove the past week or so, I replaced the bearing cups in both the headset and the bottom bracket. The headset bearing cups had quite a bit of chrome pitting, so I replaced those and figured I might as well do the bottom bracket cups while I was at it. I also had the darn gold nipples replaced on the Pro Class rims to chrome nipples. Now the real Cru jones bike had the hard anodized Pro Class rims on it, but these rims are expensive and tough to come by in really good condition, so I was lucky to find these chrome ones when I did. So it won't be exact, but it will be close...and I like the look of the chrome anyway. Maybe if I ever run into a good set of the hard anodized ones I will switch them out in the future.
It is getting pretty close to being done. If all goes well I may have it completed this weekend, assuming I have time to throw everything together. Just a few more parts to add:
