Maybe rotate the bars back so the straight part at the ends is on a diagonal?

You are inspirational! That magnetic parts holder on your repair stand is a stroke of genius! I'm copying.

If you're feeling really funky then you find (I mean make) this.

Dynasty is my favorite Kiss album. It was the first one I bought when it was new. @hamppea

I think I’m going to ditch the 10 speed bars. I took my bike off of the stand to see if I liked it. They will be too low and too far forward for me. So I’ll be searching around for a kool set of bars. I’ve always seen it with wide apehangers

I finally had a day off so I broke my bike down. Should be a quick clean up.

That seat is a perfect match for the frame color! I am glad you are ditching the "bum bars". That's what we call them around hear because many of the homeless guys flip the drop bars up on their rides.

I’m using Turtle wax and free microfiber cloths from harbor freight. The paints kinda beat up but I like it that way

I like the chain guard on these bikes

Big fan of the turtle wax and cloth final cleaning stage. Really brings back the shine!

I’ll probably go over the big areas one more time. It should look pretty good in the sun

Turtle wax is great, but for the final finish I recommend this one:
