This is my old college bike, bought it new in 1975. I am going to replace the turkey wings with Aero levers, and get some wire bead tires on it, as the Araya alloy rims I have on it are unhooked.

The bike sat idle for 31 years, stored under the deck, in a garage, in a basement. Needless to say, it was in need of some attention.... I pulled it out Jan 08 to resurrect it.

The parts are the same as when I parked it in 1977, except I bought some cheap simplex shift levers (NOS) off ebay. That was easier than trying to clean the original ones.


This was my first rebuild/restore project. I have since done about 10 bikes.
