Junk bike found on the street restored better than new

After following up on a listing on local classified for a junk bike someone left on the side of the road for first come, first served, I found this Motiv in sad shape. (In my mind I read Marin, which is why I made the branding mistake). Mistakes aside, I completely restored and made this bike better than new.
