IBM on the shop stand

Just outside Winthrop the IBM began to make serious crunching noises from the bottom bracket. As fat would have it, we pedaled into town and my local bike shop, Boulevard Sports, was set up for repairs. They had worked on the bike when I first borrowed it from Ray so were pleased to get the vintage bike back on the stand.
Turns out the bottom bracket needed overhauled and had taken on water today in the big rains.
Dennis was all over what neede to be done and completely rebuilt the bracket while we hung out in the Winthrop City Park chatting it up with Tom's family.
