Ok so its been a few days into the restoration and I've decided to post another blog to show my progress.
I took a long time sanding it down. here is the frame and forks almost sanded all the way. i couldn't take the forks of because the threading was kind of messed up where the reflector was at so i just left it on.
I started removing some of the rust from the gears and all the chrome parts.. some were very bad. as i was looking at all the parts i noticed that this bike was really expensive back in its day it has all Shimano parts. i was pretty stoked.
Today was Primer day!!! I hung her up and hit it up with some primer. I went to the local bike shop and got a new chain, front brake line.. i had bought the other ones the other day, some tape for my handles. i wont say what color... its a surprise!!!
I need to paint her, throw some designs on her and take the rest of the rust off the chrome.. finally got me some steel wool... and reassemble!!!
Im very excited!!!
