The Collegiate is Done and it is BEAUTFUL!!

Jan's bike is finished - and we loved the smile when she came to pick it up.



1968 Schwinn Collegiate Deluxe 5-speed
Ready to Ride the Lakes!



The chrome came out great...



Before
 Chrome was rusty,
no fender

  

After
Chrome Restored
Headlight, Speedometer
& Fenders back on



Did we say the chrome came out great?...



Before
Rusty Basket & Accessories

  

After
Chrome is Restored and Shiny



The generator and speedometer work, the paint is glistening...

Speedometer runs headlight and rear light,
snaps against wheel when in use



The speedometer needed a little TLC...
some insulation, cleaning, new hardware;
and takes a moment to track the speed
Not as accurate as a computer - but Jan can keep track
of her mileage as she tours the bike paths...



We are happy...and we think Jan is happy!

Life is good.
