Couple before & after pics. Didn't get as many as I wanted of the paint clean up & assembly since my phone had died.

After a quick clean up with the aqueous cleanser. No harsh chemicals used.

I don't believe this bike had many miles on it, so I plan to just reuse the bearings & brake discs after servicing. All bearings & races in the crankset,hubs & pedals have no wear whatsoever! Look at that plating! freaking cog looks NOS!

Awesome work, Mike!
When you first posted this thread, I wanted to post the clip of Jonathan Winters from It's a Mad Mad Mad World when he gets the girls bike to ride.
Unfortunately, I'm lame and couldn't figure out how to do it.
