I figured I would clean it up and give it to a local kid. I sand blasted every paint part, polished the chrome and repainted the bike with a rattle can. It got a new headset and BB bearing and cups. The original wheels and tires were too far gone so it got a new set. I've already found an under privileged kid that has never owned a bicycle.

Excellent transformation and a great cause! Did you give the kid a lock too?
