Here is another rebuild of left over bike parts.
A Magna frame, model is Arizona, (26-incher) with Shimano 333 rims, 27x1.25 inch or 32mm-630mm.
All bearings have been replaced or re-greased.
OK, so it's a girl frame, who cares?
As-is in the driveway. 5-speed rear, no front derailleur but using the small chainring. SIS shifter. Used 41-53mm brakes (thanks to Mike's Bike Chalet, Mesa, AZ) with my new pads. New cables of course (Bell, Walmart). Seat post is BMX.
The rear QR is not there as the QR axle was bent. I replaced the axle with a solid one using different cones and bearings.
I noticed that the front rim is off by two holes placing that air valve in the narrow space, oh well, not by me.
Tire Size 32-630.
Shimano 333 hubs, solid axle.
Old style Shimano freewheel (20mm) oiled with 90wt.
SIS shifter.
Front brakes, used but OK. The quick-release does nothing as the arms are already full out. Mounting did not require drilling of the front fork.
Rear brakes. This required drilling the back side of the mount tube to clear the mounting counter-sunk nut. A spacer was also required under the nut as the nut was too long and hit the inner (other) side of the mount tube. Ignore the junk pile in the background.
Magna Logo. Model is Arizona, where I live.
Used pedals, oiled with 90wt.
Update: Feb/3/2018
Added a rear carrier and a basket for my 8lb poodle to ride in.
I will put in a barrier to keep the dogs legs out of the spokes.
Also, changed the saddle for a more comfy one and
changed the pedals for re-built metal ones.
