Not really much difference in the before and after pictures. A little bit of a letdown actually, considering the time that I spent trying to rub out the murky yellow paint. The paint is really hammered, meaning tons of scratches and some 'webbing'

I don't have Brooks saddle to bolt on(still looking for a cheap unit), so this generic saddle will suffice. The fenders, well they are pretty warped, due to being mounted on a bike improperly for a bout 35-plus years. Couple of issues, I cut the brake housings too short(me thinks), and I didn't have nuts and bolts for the front fender(so you will see zip ties for now).

Here is what I started with: I believe this is a 1972ish Grand Touring



This is the present form
