How I frittered my evening away...

...instead of working on one of my 'for sale' bikes. I won't be getting around to repainting my '68 Grand Prix for another month yet, so I decided it'd be a lot more fun to ride it than look at it in a basket. Cleaned her up and borrowed the fenders I want for it from another bike. Those black grips are just there until I pick up some cushioned bar tape.

Not yet, but it will. The BB and steering head are a little dry, and it needs newer high-pressure tires -- those old Raleigh Red Dots max at 65 psi. It's essentially the same bike as the '72 I just rebuilt though, and that one rides like a dream. A dream with a three-piece steel crankset, anyway...
