Bleaching my Tuffs

As the title states...I'm bleaching them. I can not remove the freewheel without a special tool, so it's on order. Hopefully it will arrive sooner than later.

I also just received a new bike from eBay. It's a Diamondback Cool Streak. I'll post videos soon.

Videos

Here are a few videos of my Hotstreak. So far I've taken the logos off with my wife's hair dryer. That was much easier than I thought it would be.

I'm going to bleach my Tuffs, but I'm having trouble remembering how to get the ball barrings out!

Documentation





Well, I decided to show as much as I can about this and future projects. Please throw your 2 cents in when ever you think you can help. I'm hoping this will be one more cool resource for other newbies like myself.

I will also be shooting video with my Pure Digital Technologies video camera. It's small and easy to use. This will enable me to quickly shoot and upload videos.

Here's my work bench. It's small, but it'll have to do for now.

Diamondback Hotstreak





Well, I've taken the plunge into vintage BMX collecting. I decided to start with the first bike that I bought with my own hard earned paper route money. I will post as often as I can.
