Picked up from the garage sale for $10.00.

I figured since it was $10.00, and I've been looking for something to commute with, I'd go for it. Figured it needed tires, cables, grip tape, and a chain. As I was removing stuff, i was finding much worse rust than expected, and I figured that touchup and resto was out of the picture, I said to hell with it, and stripped it. In the process, I decided I might use this for more than just commuting, so I might as well fix some of the scratches in the metal etc. Paint and clear went on, then I started running cables, and slapping on parts. Hit up the LBS a few times, and the ghetto LBS by my work.. best place for used parts ever. Hooked me up with a new rear brake cable stay, RDR, and rear cassette. 50 bucks later, I was up and running. Put bar tape on it tonight. It's been pouring since i brought it home, so i have no idea if the damn thing works, but it looks pretty!
