"Last saturday it was raining pretty badly so I decided to head up to Nan Chang. I got on the train and spent the Sunday hunting for parts and having a look at some special bikes in Mister Shen's warehouse. It was nice to see old PLA parts.

I did some shopping and will send pictures later."

"Here's a new LRM product—metal seat bushings. The inner bushing has grease passages. You pack it with grease and insert it into the outer bushing, put O-rings on each side, mount the seat and tighten it. These bushings will last forever and the seat will be tighter."
