Late 70s? Murray Monterey
Shimano 3-speed. The correct cable and fittings were unavailable, so I ended up just tying a triple-knot in the end of the cable and wrapping it in duct tape. Classy.

I found this bike on the side of the road in Belfast. I promised it to my friend Kat, and painted it to match her preference. This is pretty much all factory parts, some of which required a lot of work to get working again. As of these photos, I have not reinstalled the chain guard, which I want to paint creme-colored to match the secondary color of the bike.
