I have always had a bike. When i was a kid there weren't "vintage" bikes they were near new or beaters i built! Seeing movies like Stephen Kings IT and others you'll see vintage bikes, but oddly they dont seem vintage. They just seem cool! The bikes i find are rarely complete and i need to find parts to finish them. But sometimes im buying parts off nice bikes that shouldn't be separated from the original! I wish I could find away to feel better about someone parting out a bike. They are only original once! And can be called complete and correct,,,,, but will never be original again! Im I being silly or is this a thing! I need lots of parts but hate the idea of another bike missing a seat on my account! Reading this back to myself it does sound silly,,they cant feel a thing!? But thats what my dad said about ramming a hook up a worms butt! I would love to hear thoughts on parting out! Should i feel bad?
 
That tank makes this bike. Hardly used 1960 Radiant red Hornet with more damage from storage verses usage. But that tank looks flawless, a NOS or appears to be fresh out if the box. The tank makes it pop.

Thank you! It needs a horn and a set of white walls. This is my best original paint bike! Ive only put a little soap and water and thats it. Its missing a reflector , i think i have one somewhere. Did the pedals myself!

Anyone listen to the "bike karma" podcast! Tom brown, the dude who,,,as a labor of love has got a pretty cool show! Really interesting! Just has a super mellow vibe. Cool people doing cool stuff with all kinds of bikes! I do recommend it.

I listen to this podcast! He does a great job of bringing bikers together and exploring all the avenues form history to touring and riding to bike building. I highly recommend it!

What would you value $ the 60 hornet to be???

That's a tough one, I wouldn't know. The radiant red is sharp, vivid and doesn't appear to have UV decomposition, but does 1960 have this prob, IDK.

However, That tank could be more valuable than the whole bike. I mean, it looks (in your photos) actual NOS (New old stock) Mint. Not a scratch, no chips nor marks at the screw holes And Mint tops the list in valuation. The tank pops this bike but, as value goes, I wouldn't mount it on it. B/C, if value is an issue then your highest bidder would be whoever owns a mint bike to match it. Or a collector who's only interested in top condition parts. Mint valuations can exceed near mint by 2 time the money
