Okay, my project bike is finished, phase one, it's ridable. phase two is a winter project, different rims, longer seat post (some genius in history put the wrong post on it and bent the collar by tightening the bolt until it fit, I either need to get it bent back and use the proper sized post or find a longer one like the one on the bike and different brake levers in order to lose the turkey wings. I do need to true the rear wheel a little better and replace a spoke. Probably take it to a local co-op to do that this week, where they have the freewheel remover and a truing stand.


Before:



After:



I know the bar wrap isn't the greatest job, I'll redo it once I find a different set of brake levers hopefully ones with hoods. I put the reflector and kick stand back on as they came with it.
