After some more cleaning and a new set of Pro-tite Pasela wire bead tires.



Seat tube decals.



Dia-Compe caliper on front.



Still more cleaning to do yet.
I like these cranks, despite being a bit on the short side for my preferences.


Castle nutted rear, which is a nice touch. Suntour r/d shifts just fine. I had to put cable end caps all over the bike- just a personal matter for me. They prevent the ends from fraying, which looks pretty poor on what should be a nice bike.



Replaced the Suzu q/r front skewer with this cheapy "security" rod set.



Suzu sealed bearing front hub. Have to get the rear clean enough to read the markings yet...



Pasela tire markings. Long stem Schrader valve is on a Kenda tube.



View from the front. Brand decal on the head tube. Too bad they went with this. I like the older metal badging, but I guess I can't have everything I like.
