Didn't get the Diamond Back finished, I ended up working on 3 other bikes but I did quite a bit done on it. I just need to run brake cables, hook the brakes up and set them then wrap the bars and take it for a test ride. Incredibly the rear derailleur was in A-1 working condition. Hard to believe after seeing it under a plie of Roadmasters, Huffys and Schwinns LOL. I did "kind of" wash it but I'm not going to go crazy. Hopefully I have some pre-2024 bar tape stashed away so I can maintain my "100% on hand before Jan. 1st" status.

Yep, we got bar tape, it's even red.
