This bike was my covid lockdown project. The rust was under the crackled clear coat, wheels were beyond saving, seat post did not survive unsticking. It was perfect to dig into to occupy my mind and look forward to riding. I found an environmentally mild way to remove the failed clear coat. It turns out that citrus stripper applied in full Wisconsin summer sun goes into over-drive. Wipe off with a paper towel very little rubbing needed. Tape off the decals of course. In my enthusiasm for the project, I failed to note that the bike is a 62cm when I ride a 58cm. No problem. I really like this bike so just be sure not to do anything that would cause your bifurcation to meet up with the top tube. I have seen values in the web of $193 to $1200. Anyone here care to weigh in with a dose of reality?
Thanks
