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.Last edited by rubywagon; 12-14-2010 at 06:12 PM.

Fantastic job
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!
