For me, a bike is worth restoring (actually street restoration, I don't do chrome plating EVER, but paint and art is not a problem) when it interests me, is a good fit and available cheap. Anyway, this was in rough shape and given to me for free. The interest factor was there (I am a freak for chrome plated stay socks and head tube lugs...
I test rode the bike to ensure it was a good fit and offered a decent ride quality. Once satisfied, I did this and this set me back a few hundred dollars...
Sadly, I don't even ride it. The gearing is just too much for this man's old, worn out legs...
Now, I have to decide if this is a decent fit, a bike of interest and worth the $$$ and effort to street restore...
