So, I have to confess- I have not liked riding bikes for a long time. When I was a kid I had an amazing purple bike with a banana seat and streamers on the grips ....
Maybe that is what peaked my interest. My beau bought a bike for around 25.00 and I have set about cleaning it. Once I took the seat cover off, I saw how the last person botched the job by just taping over the foam and never cleaning or removing rust.
If I am taking the time to work on something- I am going to do it right (Hence the title "all in"). I have beautiful grease stained hands to prove it!
This bike was "revised" before we picked it up. So I am having trouble locating any identifying numbers.
The seat base reminds me of a stingray- but it says "Made in Italy", so not sure if that reveals any details. Also at one time it was a lovely vibrant blue paint color- but was spray painted over with dull olive.
The handlebars and bar for the seat mount were sprayed a dirty gold.
Does it work to use flicker links for photos? I read the post on uploading pics- but hate opening another account for a similar function.
