So I finally did it...I flipped my first bike.
I bought a 70's (?) Raleigh road bike a few weeks ago with the idea of giving it the once over and riding it myself. I decided it was too small for me, plus I just had too many bikes. I gave it a half once over, lightly cleaned it, polished the chrome, regrease the cranks (that somebody had previously installed wrong), and adjusted the brakes. It was a gorgeous bike that rode really nice.
The people just who bought it just left. They were happy and I made a few bucks too.
Sorry, didn't take a single picture of it.
Edit: Wait, I did take a few pics of it before, but they are not on this computer. I will post them later.
Edit 2: Ok, here are the before photos. It was 80 degrees and sunny today. The bike cleaned up soooooooo nice and looked incredible in the sun.
