To take an old Schwinn bicycle and restore it to like new condition.
Background:
I had been given this relatively old bicycle and immediately noticed its potential. It was a little old and dirty, but that is nothing that a fresh coat of paint cannot fix.
This project offered several challenges, the biggest being the wheel spoke lacing. This is something I had never previously attempted and was hesitant to try. I decided that there was really only one way to learn how to do it, and that was to give it a shot. It turned out to be easier than I expected and quite enjoyable.
