Was a fun project to clean and recondition the "perfect" freewheel was a little sticky but a shot of lube and it was spinning like a champ. A lot of cleaning this bike was most likely teen owned back in the day and ridden hard and put away wet. All loose ball bearings in the headset and bottom bracket the headset made for a nice game of hide and seek! Not showroom or anything like that but I'm happy how in turned out.
Turned out really nice.
