A friend of mine told me about an old bike left to rot along a rails to trails bike path in Gregory, MI that I thought might be wroth checking out.

Here is what I found out there.

As you can see it was a true mess and not rideable in any way.

Time for bringing it back to life and make it a fun bike to own.

The tools used to straighten out the frame and bring it back into shape.

With all the hammer mechanics done she is fully assembled and rides like a dream. Though I didn't know it at the time but the frame also had a twist to it the I later needed to untwist via a pipe and jumping up an down on part of the frame.
