When you're done you MUST do the Pasadena vintage ride since it's in your neighborhood. Looking forward to seeing your progress.
Once this bike is up and running, I plan on doing the Velo-Retro ride, for sure. 👍😀

I’m not a big fan of the champagne color, and a restoration project to original spec is not my target. Currently, I’m leaning heavily towards something colorful like electric blue.
