Now that is a transformation. Did you just get the frame to start with?

I had the whole bike. Handlebars were rusted over, both rims rusted.
The front rim i had to replace. The chain i cut off and it stood up on its own. Sprockets and cranks coated in rust too.
This is after using multiple sanding tools to remove 95% of it.

Nice

And then you had to sand the scratches out of the cars hood and re polish as well??

Nice result based on what you started with :thumbsup:

That's one looooong chain... & here I was thinking tandems ran dual chains...

There's only one sanding tool needed to remove all rust, blaster ;)

There are 2 chains. If you look close you can tell that there are 2 sprockets at the back set of pedals. There's a chain connecting the pedal sets together and another connecting to the rear wheel sprocket.
