Shop bike pt. 2

Well, in the process of trying to take apart the one part that would decide if I continued forward with the project or not, I hit a road block. Actually it was more like a dead end with a cliff. I damaged a part that would make it impossible to further try to take it apart, so that kills this project. Kinda par for the course with me, I try to undertake something I have not done before and it might be a little above my head, and I go down in flames. Well, at least I had some fun along the way, and I got two good tires out of the ordeal, and I am better prepared for the next time I ever decide to do something like this.
