Bike is Done!

I finally finished putting the bike back together. It took a lot more work than I expected - mostly due to the fact that the downtube shifter kit that I bought didn't fit the mounting brackets that are welded to my bike. I ended up drilling some holes out bigger and filing down some other bits and pieces.

There's still a little that needs to be done, but it's definitely rideable right now. So, grip tape, a little bit of derailleur and brake tuning and it'll really be done!

Cost of project: ~$150 in parts, tools and paint.
