in the stand

1978 Schwinn Twinn with 5spd rear and atom drum brake, in for a full overhaul and clean/detail....(Navy Jelly is the cats meow for removing rust from chrome, just don't get this crap on your hands as it'll remove'em....yeah...your hands). This bike must have spent a little time in outdoor storage as there seems to be a little bit of rust here and there and the bearings were all in pretty rough shape. A thorough cleaning and re-greasing of the bearings brought them all back to life and none actually needed replacement. We also had to replace all of the cable/housing as they were corroded badly (to be expected for 30yr old cables). Pretty cool to see how tough these old bikes were.
