Perfect!!!! Thanks a lot !! Right now I removed all the parts and polished them.. they looks brand new I couldnt believe that 3 days ago!!
I did not have the right tools for removing the bottom bracket, the chain and the fork. Once I will remove them I can sand the frame and repaint it! Then it will be time to reassemble everything, Buy a saddle, a chain, two new tires, bartape,steel cables for brakes and shifters, brake pads maybe new rims (Duncan help me to figure it out if they need to be changed) How much do u think it's gonna be? What do u think about this weekend and next week?
