I am suspicious now of the Green Mirage. If the Green International and the Green Super Course marked the beginning and ending of COVID-19, then I should have known better than to allow its soul to escape by trying to resurrect another green bike. Now, from seclusion while taking experimental, emergency-only antiviral drugs, I am posting some photos of the Green Mirage as pulled from the underworld

Identification includes an intact "1020" decal

Wheels are biggest part of challenge. Warped, rusted, and dry-rotted

Some surface rust, and sign of secure kickstand

Beautiful lug work, and interesting cable stay detail

Seat post not stuck but what is that sleeve? Bent lug on seat tube

derailleurs in working order

I love the old-school lighting
