FB Market buy for $45.
Tanlines: Weird sun-inflected paint fade to silver. Original is Champagne (see photos)
Much brass brushing, lube and cleaning. Aluminum foil trick for removing some frame surface rust.
Original Mirage was modded by a previous owner: namely, the handlebar and downtube shifter .
I added Brooks saddle and panniers.
Was able to salvage rusted chain, via overnight soak in kerosene.
