Donzi -

I'm not offended in the least - I'm also no expert, but would love to hear what's "wrong" with the bike. This is pretty much how it looked when I got it and I spent my time getting it running rather than thinking about cosmetics. now that its running, however... I planned to address the seat at some point, but please let me know what else you notice and what would be "correctable".

THANKS!
