I get them hot with a torch and they come right off. If they are stubborn, I touch a piece of paraffin to the part. It wicks between the threads but doesn’t evaporate off like penetrating oil.

Found an early Sport

Drove a bit today to pick up this early sport frame, a non matching engine and a box of parts. I have a parts bike with a bent frame so hopefully I can build it into a running bike - one day…

Re: new toy

Easy. MAP gas torch. Heat for a couple minutes, touch some paraffin to the threads (won’t evaporate like oil & wicks up the threads) heat some more. Tighten a millimeter then loosen.

Has anyone purchased a new wire harness from this seller, or any other vendor?
The price seems very reasonable. I'm just looking for feedback. Thanks

Re: Added a Strada to the project list

The red bike belongs to a friend, not mine unfortunately. Aluminum rims never belonged to Stradas, but are really beautufull.

Sure. I’ll be back home in a couple days and take some pics.
I have a bunch of high res pics. Give me your email and I’ll send them to you.

Duh, I was not very clear - what I meant was the Castrol/Made in Italy (?) stickers on the top of the tank! Thanks again.
I will soon.
