    Back in February I purchased this bike that I thought I could put on the road fairly quickly. After doing a little research, I found this site, and after reading a bit on here, I decided to do a good, thorough job of recommissioning it. Making riding it a much safer and less frustrating task. This is what I started with.

    After going through every system and either repairing or replacing all the broken bits, with some help from this site and others along the way.

    I'm at this point now. There are still some mostly cosmetic things to be taken care of.

    And here I am taking her on the maiden voyage around the block.

    I gotta say that she runs at least as well as any other bike I've had and will probably never take her to her limits.

    Nice job. That front tire looks a bit narrow, but if you get good handling out of that, power to ya.
