Here is a crummy picture of the progress. One of the wheels has a steel rim, so I’m considering swapping in a pair of Ukai rims and gyromaster hubs that I have.



Wheels just placed for fit testing. Please excuse the mess... it's related to the yellow bike.

If you look closely, you can see the damage that the chain caused to the front derailleur.

Lots of pitting in the chrome. The rust was HEAVY on most items. I spent days soaking parts in vinegar.
