    Cameron,
    The Steelmaster has been refurbished. As I mentioned earlier, I added alloy rims, brakes, etc. I also upgraded it from 26 in to 27 in rims. Still seems pretty crappy, but it was a fun project. My only regret is that I didn’t have enough red cable housing, so I snuck in a couple of pieces of silver housing. I’m including a close-up of the “Falcon” derailleurs and “Pointer” cranks, in case those are unfamiliar to people with less crappy bikes.

    Pastorrdj–
    The words “Behold, all things become new”..come to mind when looking at the before and after shots. Nice job and good save.
    Personally, I think it looks just fine when you combine two different colors of cable housing, one for the brakes and another for the gearing. Even more so–when the colors appear somewhere on the bike; decals, head badge, etc.

    Gotta love any bike with the word “Master” in its title…twice. Great find.

    Hi, I’ve got a steelmaster 10 speed as well. It used to belong to my granddad and I’m fixing it up. But somewhere along the way the “protection plates” that keep water and dirt out of the wheel bearings have gone missing. Does anybody know where I could get my hands on these things. If not, could someone who still has them give me the dimensions, so I could have them made? Thanks in advance.
