Day 4 – Seat, Front Tire and Brakes

Since the seat I had claimed earlier was rather bent, I swapped it out for another one.    Can’t say I’m a big fan of the mounting system for seats.   Keeps them adjustable but rather difficult to work with.

And now that there was actually stuff on it, I was told to put a tire/tube on it before I damaged the rim.  Done!

And with the wheel on, I could tell that my front brakes were really bent out of shape.  Spent some time finding a matching set that seemed functional.   The rest of the evening was spent looking for parts to make the brakes work.  The frame I had did not quite support the brakes – no centering mounts.   Plenty of time was spent digging in the back room to find something suitable for work the next day.
