DIY Fun

So I think I may have found my next project. It combines a couple of my hobbies and passions: biking and creative fun. Here is my find as I brought it home today:
   
  
It needs new tires and tubes, most likely a new chain, possibly new gears, new handlebar grips, and who knows what else! I will take my time doing this. It may not be finished until this time next year, because of the parts I will have to buy over time. In the mean time, I will strip the paint off of it and repaint it. I already have a seat for it, since my old bike seat fits it quite nicely. Eventually I will replace that as well, since it is my OLD seat for a reason! Here is what the bike looks like now (this takes two photos...):
   
   
    
Wish me luck!

I do wish you luck. If it was me, I would never be able to put it back together again. :0s

I'm hoping I can!

Best wishes for a successful bike recovery. It may not look like a bike when you're finished, but by gum, you'll have used all the parts!

I think it's cool that you even WANT to get on a bike! We're in San Antonio and we were walking over to the Tower of the Americas and saw some bike rentals. If I had been braver, we could have rented 2 bikes and biked those 3 blocks! But I wasn't..... :0+

I will bring some of my old parts that you might be able to use. I can help put it together. I have done it many times

you need white lithium grease to start

Not petroleum grease?

Because the bike shop guys told me petroleum grease was what I wanted...
