This one re-baptized me. Bought it off a female union pipefitter, nice tough lady, and it was in terrible shape. Taco'd wheels, no grease to be seen, rusted chain. I took time with this though, and it took forever to clean, repair, replace, scrub, grease, etc. The wheels actually pounded back out, and I was able to get them true and round. Helicomatic hub, too. Anyway, you wouldn't think it would be that rewarding but it was, it was therapeutic. When it was all done, I had just replaced a few components, I think a chainring, handlebar tape, brake pads, tires, and a seat without rips in it. Turned out to be a fantastic rider, and really just a nice bike. I sold it 6 months later, but rode it everywhere for awhile. It's like I rehabbed it and set it free back into the wild, and it appreciated it. Very rewarding sometimes. I can hardly pass up a lugged Trek ever since (or really anything lugged).
