Congratulations on a good job well done!
After that bike is long gone you'll still have the knowledge.
Rebuilding salvaged bikes is rewarding on so many levels watch out you
don't become obsessed with it. That's when storage becomes a problem.
Now that you have the tools it's amazing how quickly the odd-bits
multiply for the next project bike.
