Well I thought I was going to put on the chain and cable the ol' beast up. But then it dawned on me that grey cable housing would blend in well with this steel blue frame so I'm waiting on some grey housing to come in. I had plenty of white, black and red but no grey.
Mirror shine on most of the silver bits. Some pitting on the shifters that I couldn't get off but I'm not going to worry about it. I may still take go over the rims with the Mother's polish but last time I did that by hand it was a lot of work. Not feeling it right now.
