What are you talking about I pulled this bike out of a scrape pile
cleaned the wheels up a little greased wheel bearings, bottom bracket
head set put new tires tubes and cables threw a couple of
used brake pads that were missing and a new chain
It took me all of three hours to make it ride-able then proceeded
to take it on our monthly 10 mile Vintage bike cruise with not as much as a chain slip
and by the way the black repaint you say it has well like
Henry Ford once said and I quote You can have it in any color you want as long as it is BLACK
which is the original color
