Looks nice!

What did you do with the wheels? New spokes and painted the rims?

I assume the bike was repainted before; I see no insignia on it. I assume it's a department store variety?

I've got a couple bikes around here that need similar treatment. I have a '65 Schwinn Varsity that needs the frame welded back together after too much ditch jumping. I've been collecting NOS parts and decals for it over the years. There's a 3-speed Columbia around here with family value as well. It's not a cheap hobby, though. Add up the cost of tires, tubes, chain, bearing bits and pieces, cables, aluminum rims, custom length spokes, paint and decals, and you're pushing $400. replace any chrome bits, and the price goes up from there.
