Late 80’s Schwinn World Sport Restored And Upgraded

Most of the work completed by myself. Installed brakes, wheels, and tires yesterday. Previously went through the bottom bracket and old wheel bearings. Got new saddle and post. Polished all the aluminum. Cables and housings were done by a shop last year before I got into repairing. Been averaging 25-30 mile rides on it at least once a week. Would like to get out more but has been difficult with my work schedule. Wanted the tubeless setup for reliability after getting a staple in my front tire a couple weeks ago and some of the bumpy trails and occasional gravel crossings locally.
