Does anyone else have a bike that you look back more fondly on that it deserves? This was my first project bike. It was really beat up, and I made a lowball offer that the seller accepted. Oops, just bought a project!

Redid the fork seals, the whole braking system, chain and sprockets, tires... But there were still even more problems than I had time for (paint, rust, fuelling weirdness, rear shock issues). I always wish I still had it until I remember how much more work it needed.

I don't ride but that is a beautiful bike. Hard to believe it's from 1985!
