Today's project......

I posted this in the "Saved form the dump" thread last weekend and the 820 it's replacing here yesterday. I spent a few hours today getting it ready for my wife. It came without wheels or a chain. I cleaned up a spare wheelset for it and fitted it with an 8 speed cassette and new SRAM chain, swapped on the saddle from her old TREK 820 and swapped on a set of new bike takeoff Specialized branded platform pedals. I replaced the 3X7 Gripshifters with 3X8 trigger shifters, straightened the derailleur hanger and replaced a section of brake cable housing that had corroded inside.

Before:



After:
