This is how she started out, straight out of Pocatello Idaho. Haven't been able to start working this this old girl because of how Krusty she was, soaked her for a month with BP Blaster just so I could disassemble with out striping all the components.



And this is after I rebuilt the head set, bottom bracket, and cleaned the heck out of it I also rubbed boiled linseed oil in the the patina. And I started the aging process one the chain guard, it was bare metal when I got it.

I'm gonna star rebuilding the wheels once I get another set of finned hubs, @GuitarlCarl was nice enough to sell me the set he had.
