There is some surface rust and the bolts have some rust but not a lot. I put some polish on the wheels and they come out looking pretty good but I can tell the rust spots are still there, just smaller.
The wheels are true but the front wheel is not quite aligned with the back wheel. I am sure I can make it ridable so I intend to keep at it but I am not sure if I want to keep it. I'll ride it awhile before I decide.
It is a three speed internal shifter.
Well what do you think?
