I took the bike SirMike pictured above for a ride this AM. Really a fun bike to ride, and a blast from the past. I got it from Mike a couple of years back.

Before you dig into a project like this take good look at the photos a figure out what’s missing and where you can get the parts from. I am pretty sure that SirMike put a lot more into the bike than I paid for it. New rims, tires, tubes, saddle, brake pads at least plus the effort to build new wheels, and restore the original finish.
