Installing new tires, handlebar tape, and the saddle was super easy. However, truing the wheels is a bit more difficult than I imagined, so I had a shop do it for me. Now it rides like a dream, doesn't even need a tune up, though the rear break is a little softer than I'd like it to be.
Updated pics as promised. I didn't imagine the yellow handlebar tape to get dirty so fast. So far, I've only put about 10 miles of commute on it.
Up next is a good wash and lube whenever I can find some free time.
