+1 I recently went through a similar overhaul with my 2005 Blue Ram. It was stolen back in December, then recovered (by me) in June when I noticed it locked to a bike rack in downtown Harrisburg, PA. I completely disassembled the bike (except for the BB), cleaned every single part, replaced cables, chain, brake shoes, headset bearings, tires, tubes, tape, twine, etc.
There's a scratch on the top tube that wasn't there before it was stolen; I'm assuming whoever had it had chained it up to a pole somewhere. Every time I see that scratch, I'm reminded how happy I am to have the bike back, and how much it means to me.
