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.
