Pictures!!!

I got her all shiny'd up. Did a complete disassembly and cleaned part by part. I took steel wool to the rims, a toothbrush to the frame (there were random flecks of green paint all over the frame, apparently from another project), fixed up the seat (re-covered in leather: some wrinkles but it feels so much better and from a distance it looks good), adjusted, tweaked, waxed and lubed it all. Got a second grip in good shape (thanks, Gbalke!). She looks pretty and rides very nicely.

Thank you everyone for your help and advice. It was a great find and a fun build.
