Title: IT175 J rebuild
Post by: coza778 on July 22, 2011, 01:27:29 pm

progress is a little slow on this build but every step taken is a step forward  ;)

i bought this bike in reasonable good condition so the rebuild has been quite easy so far (no rusty or frozen bolts) there were a couple of broken lugs on the frame and also a hair-line crack just below the down tube
(mid welder fixed that)

thought i would share a few pics
before resto

You have an attentive group of admirers there Corey ;D.

And for good reason. Nice work. 8)

How was the frame prepared? Wire wheel and elbow grease?

thank you Graeme  :D

frame prep was with paint stripper...about three separate coats then the almighty drill and wire wheel  :P
it's a bit of hard work but I had plenty of time to burn  :D

i also coated the frame with rust kill prior to priming  ;)

cheers corey

G'day evo550

the pipe i had on the bike had a few hard hits....so I plugged both ends.. one end with an air valve and pumped about 30psi into it....then with the oxy popped out the dents...i will post pics in the day light...but I also mocked the 175 with an IT 200 DG pipe...damn close fit  ;)

not sure which pipe to go with (depends on the fit) cause i don't intend chopping the 200 pipe

cheers corey
