Hey,
I've planned my first bike restoration project this season. I believe, Turist was made in Ukraine, USSR back in the days (80's model?). This one has been dormant in my girlfriend grandparents' shed for years. It's not in its best shape and needs some parts replaced (wheels are very weak, crankset has a rare standard?), but overall I'm excited. Lots of rust ... probably have to start there, heh.
Any first impressions? I will appreciate all your advice on where and how to begin this project - it's the most difficult part
