Nice crosshatch on the rotor. Talk about bling!

There was a lot of rust but the bike was original except for the seat and bar ends. I binned the seat and got the three stiff links in the chain to move. Everything worked but the rear shifting (rusted cable) and I managed to break the shifter by forcing it, but since I don't care for Rapid Fire that matters not to me. No hurry on this one with all my other projects.
