It was honestly easy. You should give it a whlirl.
It looks so pretty- LOVE the green!!! Nice job! I can't wait to see it put back together.
Wow!
Good work!
I love the color. My goal is to own a green bike. I look good in/on green. :)
I kinda guessed that from your screen name! :DQuote:

WOW- it looks GREAT!!! Nice work!
WAY cool. Nice work!!
That looks FANTASTIC!
Thanks, ladies! I am going to replace the brake cable housing tomorrow and then I can daydream about accessories. :)
ETA: ... and replacing those awful torpedo grips. Oy.
Do post a final "before" and "after" photo. I know I am inspired by the transformation and very impressed you've done it yourself.
The bike had a sprung Brooks saddle when you found it? Wow.
I wish it was a Brooks, but it isnt. I got most of the rust off of it and tried to make it work, but after a ride on it yesterday, it had to be replaced. Structurally, it was crumbling and falling apart. Shame!
Okay, last post on this thread I swear. Here is the final before and after.
