Where we are for the winter.

I understand that now would be the time to really get kicking on this bike. If I worked diligently with a sizable balance in the old bank, I could be riding by Spring. But, with Spring four months away and a tight budget in the works, I have little doubt the bike may continue to sit as you see below. It's been that way for four months and some days already.

I'm officially planning on stripping it and getting ready for paint as my schedule allows. Even though this will be a low budget--I don't even want to call it a restore--project, I'm going to do my best to clean it up, make it look nice, and surely run as well as possible. Certainly no one can accuse me of rushing it. No matter what happens in the next few months, I'll be sure to have a few parts sitting in the basement waiting in primer for things to warm up again.
