So bike is done and got back from @cardifbikeshop today, Eric rebuilt rear hub and smooth as silk! Next Saturday is going to be big reveal for the owner Alfonso, and he was born in '51, so kinda special as he always wanted one when a kid! Bob said seat will be here in time and Alfonso son gonna video it and will post that next weekend! Can't wait to give it back and see his face!
 
Your effort with this project is very inspiring! I’m sure the owner is going to have a smile that is a mile wide when he sees the transformation! Awesome job!
