Bike, rebuilt.

My friend Pam found this bike for $5, and I was going to donate it to a local bike charity. When she dropped it off, it was in such nice condition, I convinced her to let me rebuild it with lightweight parts. She needed a road bike for some light training anyway.
Replacing the steel parts ~ handlebars and stem, dual brake levers, wheels ~ with some aluminum parts, I also rerouted the brake lines to the new brake levers, installed some snazzy bar tape, got some different pedals, cleaned and buffed and oiled and adjusted, and I think it's turned out very well.
