Wotan,
Hey thanks. The bars are Nitto RB-018 Bullhorn (mine is a heat treated version). These are the best city-ride bars I've ever used.
freecycle,
Yeah the color came out pretty good. Ready for the summer!

Well, I guess my record of not liking the look of chop 'n' flops still stands.

Yeah, I tried chop 'n' flops several times, but none came anywhere close to this. I'm not looking back now.

A friend was tired of the crapola shifting on this $30 Nishiki:
Now, she rides this $55 Nishiki.

1) the bars were moving about in the clamp, the sleeve was ripped and had been riveted into the steel bar. The tape was vinyl, and didn't get near the sleeve, which she didn't like. She wanted wrap all the way.
2) the saddle got chewed by a dog on a back corner, and wasn't woman-specific. She likes this one.
3) the tires were shot, threads coming out the sides.
I cleaned it, adjusted the brakes, put on new tires/tubes, saddle, bar/stem combo and wrap. I've got a chain tensioner but it makes noise and has to be adjusted a lot. She doesn't want fixed gear and I used what I had on hand. She also wanted drop bars to remain.
I appreciate the feedback, and any advice on that chain would help.

The chain tension is a problem. Taking 2 links out leaves the rear axle hanging on the edge of the dropout. Other than that, I'm wondering what finishing you're talking about. Some info:
1) the bars were moving about in the clamp, the sleeve was ripped and had been riveted into the steel bar. The tape was vinyl, and didn't get near the sleeve, which she didn't like. She wanted wrap all the way.
2) the saddle got chewed by a dog on a back corner, and wasn't woman-specific. She likes this one.
3) the tires were shot, threads coming out the sides.
I cleaned it, adjusted the brakes, put on new tires/tubes, saddle, bar/stem combo and wrap. I've got a chain tensioner but it makes noise and has to be adjusted a lot. She doesn't want fixed gear and I used what I had on hand. She also wanted drop bars to remain.
