Minimal rehab

At times i really miss that place, esp the beginning of a Seattle winter season.

EXACTLY! I'll just make it fully functional with all bearings attended to (again, I am worried about the cotter pins on the crank, but will see), leave all the rust in its glory and call it "oceanic patina". I figure it will cost, with used parts, about $30 to rehab, including used rubber in a little better condition than these tires.
Thanks Wildwood, you understand that a bike like this can get a lot of action here in Santa Cruz.
Cheers,
Nubra
