Before and after- 1979 Super Grand Prix

I was just flipping through my Photobucket and ran across a shot of my bike as it was when I picked it up, it was a $20.00 Craigslist find that had been hit by a car and bent.

That was a couple year ago, rides like a dream now, this was on Fathers day when I was out for a ride with my eight year old daughter.

[h=2]If it was a Super Grand Prix before, now it's a Freaking Awesome super hot damna-a-Grand Prix now. Nice restore (those are some long straws on that frame, for sure).[/h]
