DickC's Bike: "The Beast"

I bought this bike in August 2011 from a car dealership in Cumberland, MD, that took the bike as a trade-in on a car. I'm having to rebuild a lot of the bike because of corrosion problems. I hope I'll have it road ready for the 2012 riding season. (That's the last time I'll buy a bike in an eBay auction!)

There was rust and corrosion everywhere. I don't think the former owner ever gave the bike a bath. The aluminum wheels were horribly pitted.
