Yes, it's Shelby's Shelby. haha!
Was able to spend some more time with Shelby on her bike this week. A lot of elbow grease cleaning up the frame and other parts. The frame is just about as good as its going to get. We are starting to burn through the white paint into the red and there are areas of the red that are showing primer.
I think the front wheel will be ok but the rear wheel has a number of broken spokes and will need to be re laced. I haven't gotten into town to pick up another can of PB Blaster so as you can see the seat post is still stuck. She did clean the headset bearings and greased them! Pretty cool moment. Not sure what I am doing wrong but I couldn't get the fork back together with the washer between the truss rod bracket and stem nut. There wasn't enough threads yet the bearings seem to be riding properly... will have to take it apart again to try to figure it out.
Tom, I will send you a PM
More progress to come!
