Not sure if it will do much. It's in teardown mode for now. I'm replacing the tires/tubes and cables, housing and brake pads. Will probably leave the saddle on. The fedners shined up well, but the stays are completely rusted so I may stick a set of cut down 650b honjos on there, as that's the original tire size. Hey there Brian:
