Prince Albert Cycles Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Morning everyone.I want to help a guy in Prince Albert . He and his wife live of selling biscuits to tourists . Neels had an old 28" bike with a single gear and the it is the familys only wheels. Recently the fork broke due to old age . When I heard this I went looking for him was going to offer to bring the fork to CT and look for a replacement . He then showed me that another Prince Albert resident gave him an old Giant Rincon. V brakes . It needs a lot of mechanical attention which I will be able to sort out but the frame needs a repaint . I brought it to C T with me yesterday . Where can I go to have it sandblasted and perhaps power coated ? Happy to pay .The couple's son is doing very well at school and locals are assisting with school fees for private school in P A . Youngster also waiters .Thanks

Prince Albert Cycles Posted September 10, 2014 Author Posted September 10, 2014 Guys you are very supportive thank you.I am happy to pay BogusOne for his labour/material . When I asked for help I needed directions to someone who would be able and willing to do the job.The bike has steel wheels and v brakes . The wheels are not matched , the back is the original Giant ( 7 speed ) and the front is black with black Scott hub. Would like to get a original front wheel if someone knows where to find .I will also have to find the old type bb and headset bearings. Which shop will stock ?Thanks
