Week 1 - Bike maintenance

Normally I ride a mountain bike. I have decided to dust off my road bike which I have n't ridden for about 10 years. It's still in a good condition but a few things need to be replaced. The brake and cables have all rusted and siezed up.

So far I have ordered a load of parts online to replace parts and upgrade others.
So far new pedals, new cables and I have also decided to upgrade the down tube gear shifters to some intergrated STI levers. It would have probably been cheaper to buy a new road bike from ebay with what I appear to have spent so far.
