Bought for $30 at local estate auction.

Stripped it down, cleaned, polished and repacked bearings.

New Kenda tires, tubes and rimstrips $29 including shipping from Bikesmiths.

Yellow tape was $10 from Amazon, I would have preferred the original Hunt Wilde type but that was $40 (!) on ebay.

Shorty Wald fenders, two used inner cables, toe clips and straps all from my parts bin, figure $15 value. Total cost $84.

Just finished reassembly, still needs some fine tuning but plan to start putting on the miles tommorow.
