I spent about 60 hours taking this bike apart (my first time ever) and removing rust, grease, new grease/bearings/adjusting, cables/housing, brake pads, etc. Only thing I changed were tires, saddle, grips. I recently bought a NOS Suntour Alpine Gear Tech rear derailleur because the other had loose rivets. I also am trying out a new handlebar/stem situation. The original was a BMX style stem with a chrome handlebar. I clear coated the bare metal spots and I will leave those as "battle scars" of life. Patina shows a little character. I put Continental Travel Contact 26 x 1.75" tires with reflective sidewalls lately. I guess I've said way more than enough. Can you tell I really like this bike?
