[QUOTE="kirrbby, post: 193297, member: 3972"] It IS possible to pull all of the wires thru a right sized piece of new sheathing...believe it or not. You just start pulling them thru, one or 2 at a time, starting with the biggest/hardest, ones. They'll all go. But I would agree that it's probably not necessary for you to do that before you sell it. Let the proud new owner do the nitpicking, to their own satisfaction. Things that are a little bit questionable...just because of age...are expected, and might actually help to show the true condition of a bike that's as you describe (pics would be great) If you start trying to fluff it up for resale, folks will notice...then you'll have to explain why it was necessary. Its 50 years old. Its ok if it shows a little. Anyone can replace parts. But the original parts...50 years ON the bike, can't be duplicated. If anything...old hardened plastic and rubber will support the story of a 250 mile 50 year old bike...which only YOU has seen. (hint hint) [/QUOTE]
