After my morning ride, I began to clean the rust from the bike. I am going to have to paint the frame, but most of the components look as good as new. So exciting!

look at the lugs on that beauty! And that crank is so pretty. They don't make them like that anymore, do they?

The paint is terribly scratched and rusted. I wish it wasn't, because I love the light root beer color. I sanded it, taped off all the beautiful chrome, and primed it this afternoon. I can't wait to finish it.
Tri girl, I think the cranks are my favorite part on the bike.
