So here is my project: an early Aerospace Pro found on eBay in Cincinnatti. l It had been listed 3 times and I initially avoided it because I had heard the 'Death Fork" stories and hadn't done due diligence in research, and Cincinnatti is about 4 hours away from Detroit and it was listed 'local pickup only'.
The bike is fairly complete and in reasonably good shape. It had a modern Planet Bike seat and the rims/hubs were Japanese replacements, but drivetrain is Shimano Crane/ Titlist and brakes are original Lambert/Viscount brakes. The bottom bracket feels a little crunchy so a new set of sealed bearings turned up on eBay. It's disassembled now and I am cleaning and polishing parts as I wait for replacement parts to come in. I'll post progress as things move forward, and hopefully I can count on the assembled wisdom of the group if I run into tech hurdles I can't overcome myself.
