Here we go... Got some pics, unfortunately no "Before" pics.

I bought it for 15 in unusable condition: rusted stiff chain and derrailers, couldn't pedal, lots of rust on components.

I stripped it down to bare frame, repacked bearings in BB, headseat, and wheels, cleaned everything, removed SOME of the rust, not all.
New items are: Tubes, tires, cables, housing, chain. Everything else stayed. I'm actually surprised the derrailers still worked fine once they were cleaned up. It rides and shifts well now. No collectors item, but fun for me.

I just thought it would be more useful with a bottle cage...and though plastic clamp mounts wouldn't fit the vintage look. But metal ones might.
