So, I picked my bike up from the shop yesterday. Needless to say I am excited to finally get out and ride it (other than to the shop). I ended up spending ~$500, which is double what I thought it would be. New Chain, Rear Tire, and Fork Seals. I replaced the rear brake pads and serviced the caliper. Now I am going to service the front caliper and replace the pads. Then it is riding time. This winter I hope to work on the bike's appearance and by the spring replace the front tire. Then I will have a reliable and good looking machine.

 

nice, keep us posted man.

 

Good to hear someone else is trying to restore some of the older bikes. Keep postin'
