Of course. The parts take time to clean and rebuild though. One piece at a time, and eventually it will be finished. I rode it without the brakes the other day, it is fast. Turns on a dime!

If it brings you happiness, just do it. I didn't have a Manuel, like you. So you could potentially still get parts.

Lots of people just look at their phones all day. Be odd

I dont have a manual either. That was just a guide for rebuilding the bearings on the pedal assembly. I will have to adjust the gears and everything, l will have to learn how to do that. And wrapping the handlebars, l hope l can do it correctly the first time because the handlebar tape l buy will be vintage.

Dang, YOU;re going ALL out! Still, I didn't have a guide either. But where I lived had a bike library, so I often went there to try to get it looked at. But it was a DIY, kinda place and the shop keeper and volunteers were kinda always busy. Honestly, if they just charged to repair stuff or ask for donation..I would have happily pay it.

This bike deserves it. The previous owner didnt know how to do the maintenance, so he gave it up. He bought a newer fixie instead. I can find a lot of information on the internet, and most bikes are similar. This one is similar to mine.
