On Training Wheels
I'm new to this forum, so please be kind! I picked up this project from craigslist after seeing a local club do a vintage ride. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this thing posted for only $30, so I swooped in like a vulture and picked it up in a hurry. It was used in someones McMansion as a bathroom decoration. It must have been one heck of a john! They downsized and this was just in their way. I was shocked at how complete this beastie is. I don't know much about it, but I'm going to do a full disassemble, acid bath, polish, the works. Not quite sure what to do about the seat, but I have plenty of time to get there. I only hope I don't make the finish worse while trying to make it better. Here are some preliminary pics. My dining room isn't big enough to get the full bike, so I'm posting the one from CL. The detail shots are from today. I'll get more pics before taking her completely apart. I welcome any info anyone has on this bike. I posted a pic of the serial number, but I may have to get a better shot. I'll be documenting this project as it comes along. Hopefully it goes well.
