lukearl: Spacer rings
lukearl: Bear(ing) with me
lukearl: Moar bears!
lukearl: It may have been laid up in the garage a while...
lukearl: So this comes off like this
lukearl: Bits
lukearl: Keeping these bits
lukearl: More bits.
lukearl: First stripping of paint
lukearl: I'm sure this means something to someone
lukearl: Was this bike yellow once?
lukearl: Or is the yellow something to do with the welding?
lukearl: Second go at stripping worked a bit better
lukearl: I got bored - wanted to paint!
lukearl: More hanging
lukearl: First undercoat.
lukearl: Second undercoat
lukearl: And CLOSER
