.......so i took it for a little spin this warm, sunny California afternoon.

It does feel relatively light for a total bike of it's vintage, probably more
than anything because of the wheelset ( I cleaned up and went with the
original wheels with which it came to me.

Very responsive, accelerates nicely, feels pretty solid (again, for a bike of
comparable vintage.) All in all, probably worth the derustification process
(inside and out) that was accomplished mostly with Evaporust tm.

It was pretty tedious, and probably ate up an extra four or five hours, but
now it's done.........I'm not anxious to do another.
