I built this one for my Dad. Actually I just tore it all the way down to the bearings, then greased up, polished and rebuilt it. Replacing a couple of things along the way.
It needed a crankarm, and I ended up replacing the cranks completely. Unfortunately this resulted in some not very hill friendly ratios (now a 52/40 I think, and just a couple of teeth up from the old ones). I thought about switching it to a triple, but I definately wasn’t getting into replacing the rear der with a long cage plus a new chain, and shifters/cog? (then were does it stop…). Plus this crankset was free from my LBS.
Then there was some basic things like shifter cables and some seriously tedious adjustments with the (really cheap and over-simple) components. I straightened the wheels and then added all the other fun stuff: fender and rear rack for hauling firewood, the front rack and bag (stuffed with new tire levers, tools, tubes and whatnot) and the pump and bottle cage.
He’s going to flip when he sees it and I’m sure he’ll use it all the time at the campground.
