She recently said she would like an old bike like mine for her birthday in May (we have the same birthday day) so I found this one for her. I think it is about a 58 to 1960 according to some ads I spotted. It basically just needed some cleaning, polishing, some wax and threw on a new seat (she just had a kid not that long ago, needed a softer seat) and some new pedals. I repainted the rocket light and re-aged it again with some stain and rubbed through with some sandpaper. The chain looked like a black rope it had so much grease and dirt. She is really happy with it, and actually, so I am I. Happy Birthday kid! ( She's 24.). Here's some before and after photos.
