Just restored another Schwinn

Before 

This Schwinn took a while as I had to do some major cleaning on the wheels and other bare metal parts. Once the wheels were clean, I used Scrubbing Bubbles to clean as much dirt off of the frame. This bike did not have brake cables or levers, so I had to install them myself. I replaced the tires and the derailleur  cable housings so they matched the housings on the brake cable. After it was reassembled, Carl and I adjusted the derailleurs so that the shifting worked properly. Today, I took it for a ride. It was a bit awkward riding such a tall bike, but I managed to get some good pictures of it.
