We'll be starting a new project composed of interviews and hands on demonstration of how to restore and recondition an old ten speed bicycle. The chosen bike is a Prince Racer model from the 1970's ten speed boom, this particular one was rescued from a dumpster. It's an ideal bike to restore because it was more dusty than rusty (which is rare). After doing some research, it was discovered that this model was sold around the midwest in higher end department stores, retailing around $100. It's got good components and will look really nice cleaned up.
I've ordered, new tires, tubes, cables, wrap, and picked out some new paint. The tentative plan is turn it into a Steve Zissou/Life Aquatic themed bike. Stay tuned for updates.
