Nice find!

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.

After:



I love, love, love it.
