This was my 3rd? bike I've bought years ago. I tried to refurbish it but it was early in my bike hobby and i didn't do the best job. I just recently decided to get it up and running again. The original s-7's were rusted through so I laced up the original hubs to double wall alloy Mavic rims with stainless DT spokes. Also a few other new things like tires, chain, etc..
I just took it out for a long ride on the trail today, I'll have to get more pics soon. It's rides so smooth now.

Here's the first time I fixed it up

And here's it today on the trail. My goal was to cut down on weight, to give it an almost klunker like feel
