Good eye on the felines. I need all the help I can get with these more complex projects.

Thanks for the input Cheesy. You really know these old bikes. I was hoping you'd chime in.

You may have noticed the rear wheel is not correct. I have a new (used) correct Araya alloy with a quick release on the way. I also have a pair of correct brake hoods coming. It's fun to fix this stuff and fun to ride them.

With new tires, tubes (you should have seen the copious snot like looking stuff that came out of the old ones), brake hoods, handlebar tape, and other bits I'm out all of $100. That's Chinarider style right there! Admittedly I had some surplus stuff laying around I used like the seat.
