    Post before and after pics of your rebuild

    Hi, one of my favorite things about reading your posts is to see before and after pics. How some old rust piles turn into beautiful GS?s.

    I searched to see if a thread like this existed but could not find one.

    So here is one for all of us to se your before and afters!

                Great idea for a thread! I'm enjoying it already

                I won't put mine up yet... but I may be able to before the year is out... or it may go into an eleventh year...

                      Thanks! Certainly not the best candidate for a cafe but it sure is a fun bike.

                      Some nice looking bikes in this thread already!

                              And yeah, there are definitely nice bikes in this thread so far, I particularly like MisterCinders also but pretty sure I've told him that already
