I started out doing a light tune-up on my main commuter bike, my 1974 Raleigh International. It's ending up being a major job, but that's a good thing. I've cleaned everything but the wheels so far. I've installed fenders, finally (not pictured). I need to find the mounting hardware for the taillight to go on the rear fender. Getting the front rack off and on is tricky, so it's off for now. I'm changing most cables and putting on a new chain. I think it was the unexpectedly grimy chain that prompted me to do a major tuneup.
I find that changing cables is one of my most disliked bike repair job. I'm not sure why.
My hand-applied paint (by brush) is chipping quite a bit, but the good news is (1) I don't care, and (2) the primer is holding up extremely well.
