A few hours of work to start assembling this 5000 in its beautiful atoll blue livery.
While the aluminum, chrome, stainless steel and other plastic parts are cleaning in their respective ultrasonic tanks, I was able to start assembling the frame.
The first hour of work gives this:
From there, we need the stainless steel luggage racks and therefore all the stainless steel parts to be polished before assembly.
The polishing wheel does its job, 2 luggage rack rods, the rear mudguard and the front mudguard:
Then we continue the puzzle:
Before being able to "hang it" to start fitting the wheels and adjusting the brake cables.
Then, well, reassembling the wheels "dry", the pedals, the saddle and its underside to finish the "frame" part.
Since the engine was ready, all that was left was to put it in place and it was done.
A few parts are still to come: luggage rack end cap, mud flap... etc... and of course, two wheels to rebuild from scratch.
A small slideshow for conclusion:
It will be finished in a few days after receiving the last missing parts.
Now we can devote ourselves to rebuilding the engines for my frames 😉
