I'm about to go that route myself... I'm honestly daunted. My bike's been unridden for long months and moved cross-country; it's out of whack but not *broken* and I think doing the work myself will be good for me. But then again... I've never so much as cleaned my own chain (I know, I know.... it got cleaned occasionally, just not by me), so I'm scared to get into it. And I'll need to lay hands on some tools; I've got a multi-tool and a couple of cheap screwdrivers and that's the long of it.
My roommate has decided that if I can adjust my own brakes, I'll also be able to restore his old lugged steel Raleigh.... yeah, not so much.
