'72 Continental Half-Cleaned

You can see the front gear and left pedal / left side of the chain guard are all prettied up, but the right pedal and rear gear are still lightly-rusted and dingy. $60.00 for the bike at an old Schwiin shop, $7 for grade #0000 steel wool, $3 for canvas gardening gloves. Wait - I got the canvas gloves to clean up my 26" frame 1975 Blue Connie - so that cost doesn't count here. This is six hours into the rehab.
Next post will be all clean.

Ride on,

Dan
