Be careful, be very careful.
Sooooo glad I don’t own a barn or things could get out of hand quickly!
I’m sure there are many others out there that just enjoy either partial or full restores just to gain knowledge (which I do with every bike), bring life back into an older bike, to flip, to keep/ride or whatever the reason. For me, my son has gotten into triathlons, has 3 bikes and is constantly upgrading or doing some maintenance on them. I figure wrenching on these older bikes is a good way to learn and be able to show him how to do a few things on his bike rather than take it to the LBS.
