Renewing The Brake Rod and Arm
We just couldn't stand to see this dirty, rusty brake rod making it's way onto the bike as it is. Buy a new one? No, just refurbish the original.

Yes, these pictures are in the post just before it except...
this is how it looks now and we think it will definitely add to the finished bike.
As it happens so often, one refurbed part leads to doing another to make things look best. The brake backing plate stuck out like a sore thumb when the refurbished brake rod and arm were held next to it. Probably to shiny for stock but wait until it ages. Now this will probably lead to getting the wheel spokes looking better. See, this is how you can wind up over spending on a project unless you know how to use affordable resources and do work yourself.
