Next comes the Schwinn S-10, a full-suspension mountain bike with high end Shimano Deore LX/XT components. Last night I touched up the metallic blue paint and realized I hadn't washed the bike yet! I first had to strip the clearcoat off the polished aluminum rear triangle - to allow re-polishing - so I kind of lost track of my steps.
Fortunately I did clean the areas to be touched up with alcohol before I painted them, so hopefully things will end up okay.
Thanks to my special brand of incompetence, every bike is it's own adventure... :-)
