Updat on Restore
I've begun work on the bike. The frame has been completely disassembled. The hubs, bottom bracket, and headset has been served. The components have been cleaned, and the motor oil removed from the chain. The frame has a coat of wax. The paint looks better than expected.







I did experiment in replacing the mountain bike handlebar with a rando drop bar. The attempt was to recreate a bike similiar to the Salsa Fargo. Although I like the look, the bike did not handle well with the rando bars. Also, the bike was uncomfortable. I returned the bike back to its original configuration. The bike is nearly complete. I have to run cables and replace tires. I should have the bike complete by this weekend.
