I used the great afternoon to start on a bike for the wife. I decided to take pictures of the (bike) rescue as it goes. It's one of my CL "lot" bikes, one of 6 for $100.



I've got some new "almost" slicks (with new tubes and strips), Ergon grips, new pedals, a decent saddle, Kool Stops and a rear rack that I think will fit to put on it after a bunch of cleaning. Plus, the 'ol lady said to get rid of the ft. derailleur and crankset and put a cheapo 40T set on it that I've got laying around. She's gonna keep the 6sp rear for now................

Anyway, as some of you know, she is six months out of intensive care and heart surgery but is still on oxygen----that's the reason for the rear rack and six gears!!!!!!!!!! The rack will tote her small O2 tank (just in case) and the cassette will let her work her strength up.

So far it's $87 worth. I don't think there's much else before she's on the road.
