Another Super Course refurb
 
Picked up this Super Course, been used as a commuter, obviously in the salt and such. Some rust and lots of oxidation. Been converted to flat bars. Had to fold the chain up in sections as it came off.
The fork has some flaking paint and rust - not sure what to do with that.

All new bearings and grease, had to put a cartridge BB in. The shifters just arrived a few days ago thanks to [MENTION=213828]inkandsilver[/MENTION]. Not too sure about the white bar tape.
Something odd, the rear wheel has stainless spokes and the front wheel has zinc plated.

Looks nice-- Is that a 78? I think the white tape looks good.

I just restored a 72 and really like the ride of that frame.

Whoa! Now that's an improvement. Nice save.

Looking good! And my size, too!

And that's a lovely saddle. I just this morning scuffed my beautiful Brooks Pro on the ceiling as I lifted my bike over a baby gate. :cry:
