I did everything myself, but I find it therapeutic in a way, and I personally liked that frame style and size.
Exactly, If you like the bike you have Its never a waste of money no Matter How old the bike is. I'm Bike collector tho so I'm a little biased. One of my favorite onrs I had was An original CCM . It was before they were Canadian Cycle and Motor Co. This one was From the 1890's When CCM was Cleveland Cycles and Motors. They owners moved the company from Cleveland and founded CCM as to Remain the Majority Influence of cycling manufacturing In North America as they owned most of them In the states.
