Notes:
This was my first Rixe. My plan is to make it a rider - paint it, rebuild the wheels with a 5-speed hub and better front hub brakes, and actually use it.
Looking at it now, the paint was pretty good and I probably should have kept it original and done a restoration. Then I could have bought one of the many of these that aren't in great shape to do a renovation.
Lesson learned. Not a total loss. That green and cream is gorgeous.
The bike is disassembled and stored in a closet currently. The build is on hold until we move and have room to store another completed tandem.
