Derailleur repairs on my dumpster bike

Several folks have asked why I call my bike the 'dumpster bike'.  It's because my wife actually found the bike in a dumpster where she works.  She knew me well enough to insist that I go look at it, and sure enough we hauled it home.

The bike needed 'some work', and the rear derailleur was badly bent.  I took photos as I disassembled it so I could tell how to reassemble it.  This was all back in 2005, so I guess the repairs worked out okay.

I recently discovered the photos.  Enjoy:  photos
