Cleaned & Greened

My second son needs a new bicycle. Instead of (代わりに) buying a new one, I repaired & repainted an old bike which we already had. Of course I chose his favourite colour, bright green for the frame. I removed the basket, which was faded, and replaced the brake cable, which was stuck (つかえていた). Finally, it was finished. He said he really liked it, & wanted to ride it straight away (= right away = immediately = 直ちに) so I`m happy.

Grammar:
When talking about the parts or features of an item (e.g. bicycle, car, computer, etc) use 'the' for each part.
物の部分について、「the」を使って
e.g. The lens on my camera is dirty. While parking my car, I damaged the rear bumper.
