I purchased this bike from a former body shop owner. He was a great painter and pinstriper .but not so much on the mechanical side. I have corrected everything but the lights... Here is the list.. new Goodyear design 26x2.125 balloon tires and tubes. .I added strut rods. New stem and handlebars. new crank and replaced front sprocket. new red chain. New Columbia repro seat. Original pedals from my 1936 Schwinn .Period correct kickstand. Reproduction Head Tube Badge. Just imagine the cost of a paint job. Bike disassembled. Old finish stripped. Primed and block sanded. .. Painted and clear coated then reassembled. Fully tuned and detailed. The previous owner welded a tailpipe section molded into the rack. to add the rear light. He also fabricated a battery holder for 8 AA batteries to power front and rear lights. Not currently working but all parts are there. Fully detailed and tuned.. Perfect for man cave, neighborhood parades and casual riding. All done, just enjoy.
