Before and after pics. I wanted to keep the chain guard as it so I lightly sanded and clear coated it. The rims I just cleaned and dried and clear coated over the rust. Left the fenders rusty cause I liked the look. Took me a long time to figure out what color to paint the frame. It was kind of a turquoise green..anyway I thought it came out pretty decent. The light I got at a antique place for $10.Came off a boat. Was able to get it to actually work as a tail light but it didn't like all that vibration I guess and kept going out. I don't know much about knowing how to fix it.

Got this bike for $65 at a junk shop (I wouldn't exactly call it an Antique store) on Rt. 1 in Maine. Didn't do much to it, just cleaned it up a bit.
