Camelbike, with regular front suspension, the front part, frame preparation

cut the drive part from an old bicycle frame, an angle grinder will do nicely.
leave enough pipe for the chain guide etc. you put on later.
i also leave a bit of tube for the frontlight.

because this was a run down bicycle, i am going to remove the crank,
a special tool makes life easy.
offcoarse you dont have to do this if you have ok parts.

also removing the crank bearing,
need an other special tool.

the bearing is old and oxidised, i need heating and some hammer bashes to get it loose.
if i remember correctly turn anti clockwise on the rightside.

now grind the excess bits off, sand, clean, zincspray and spraypaint.

looks nice, with the new crank in place..
