Nice restoration! Don't really understand why so many corners were cut? You could have removed the seatpost all the way to shine it up. You could have re-greased the headset. You could have taken off the chainrings to get the grease off the smaller chainring. You could have even re-greased the bottom bracket if you have the appropriate tools for it. Grease is cheap, riding on 30 year old gummed up grease can get expensive when it trashes your headset.
Brotha, this is not a full restoration. Just a cleanup mostly because the bike stank so much as stated in the video. No special equipment just some elbow grease and a things people can easily find. I personally don't like necessarily perfect frames because it makes you think about protecting it vs riding it.
Beautiful old classic.
Great job and sweet looking bike! Just picked up a del rey of my own and looking g forward to pitting some miles on it.
It's a great ride!
