Hello
#1
I picked up an old bike last weekend that has been in my grandmothers garage for about5 years. I have no idea how old it is but I do know it has a City of Milwaukee Permit sticker on it from April of 1987. I personally enjoy mountain biking but my wife has been wanting a vintage cruiser and this was perfect. I look forward to taking the time to restore this bicycle for her and really hope to have it in new shape for her birthday in December.

So be prepared for a lot of questions from me as I do the rebuilding of this bike.

Hi, Jack!
I can so relate to your first sentence - in a similar situation but I probably have to postpone my bike project until early Spring. Feel free to share a photo of your ride Smile
