Degreased and scuffed dull.
I'm guessing your 'Bird' is getting some new feathers? 
It's amazing the bicycle parts ,
that a guy can run across when he's just going through everyday life. ;
Since it is unusually cool in Southern Ohio for this time of the year: I decided to make a can of soup for lunch. Would you believe...
In behind the cans of soup I ran across these NOS Torrington pedals ? Oh yeah, Jeweled Pedals... then, after lunch ..
was going outside. Well, decided to put on a long sleeve tee..
And in the bottom drawer of the chest where those T are kept.... run across NOS Wald handlebars..
WORD !

Wheels are painted.
Frame near ready for paint. Still need to get:
Fork, fenders ,
& chain guard ready for paint.
Going to need new tires for sure;
The old Carlisle tires are probably only good for a display.
