The biggest issue with this frame was a dent on the lower tube, I didn't have any decent blocks of wood to make a frame roller, so the wife and I spent yesterday making them as a 3d print.

While it didn't completely remove the dent, it did help make it smaller.

Before

After: the paint wearing was from sanding down ready for painting not the blocks

Sanded the frame back and treated the rust not a huge amount the worst part was the fender bracket. Currently waiting for the krust to do it's thing before giving it an acf50 paint

The used steel frame I recently brought has arrived, a bit of rust here and there are some scuffs and such, but I plan to sand it back and respray, so these aren't issues. Threads look good all round.

Going to have to put together the parts I have and slowly buy the ones I need.

Going to be a fun project for sure.

Benefit of going slow enough to notice things

Found Dan's story and personality to be really engaging. I know videos don't go down too well but anyone looking for something to listen to this Friday might be interested.

A really random low-key suggestion from YouTube at lunch turned out to be some ancient-buried gold from back when YouTube was much better.

This focuses on the BBSHD, but they cover a lot of the terminology, with the focus on using the ebike part as an assist and for cargo bikes and not a replacement. It should be applicable to anyone with the ability to configure their e-bikes.

I use the ev-12 every day kind of low-key wish to do a whole one some day
