Looks sharp with your touch to clean them. The work alone on those pedals to get the rust off and shined up is yeoman's work. I am willing to bet this gets snapped up. Even somebody that is a bike newby would realize what an improvement this would be to invest in vs a department store bike. Lugged steel frame and components that are all adjusted properly and work!<br />Nice work as always Ryan<br />Another bike rolling down the road instead of living in the landfil.Jim Bangshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11618333090634257257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8951269325890985284.post-44556862069494696782013-10-14T09:39:55.183-07:002013-10-14T09:39:55.183-07:00Thanks for stopping by John and thanks for the com...Thanks for stopping by John and thanks for the compliment, it was fun rescuing this bike from the brink of the dump and it also let me use up some items in the parts bin that were just sitting around.RoadieRyanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15900109046198641775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8951269325890985284.post-12305044499754357242013-10-12T18:54:59.531-07:002013-10-12T18:54:59.531-07:00A mighty fine job. =)
