Bike rebuild.

I've been walking way too much recently - or at least it seems that way. And it's always on the most mundane of trips: to and from the train station, the shops or just around. So I'm bringing my bike out of retirement.

It's a 15-speed mountain bike that I got a few years ago and I haven't used it since year twelve. It'd been sitting under a tarp at Dad's place and it needs a bit of work. The frame hasn't got a speck of corrosion on it which is good but some bits are going to need replacing, like the brakes, brake and gear cables, possibly even the chain. I'll give it a lick of paint too - the frame's going to be flat black, the rims and spokes gloss black.

So I spent most of the afternoon pulling the bike apart. Grease and dust everywhere.
