Right after i joined up, I ran across the restoration that Bikeriderx was (key word = was
) doing on his 1980 Collegiate and I got all excited 'cause I'd just picked one up myself.
Basically all I did was go thru the bearings and clean up the paint (the paint only has one little scratch and came out beautifully) and polished the chrome.
I was not nearly as detailed as he was on documenting the actual restoration, so all I have are before and after pics.

I still need to get the shifting adjusted but overall it looks brand new!
Maybe this will inspire Bikeriderx to get his finished up.
