I live for the CABE
My son asked if he could learn how to build up a bike so we got started last night. Interesting, I won the bike on auction just before he was born 13 years ago. It has been in a box since then until last night. Seems like the bike was meant for him so a great first project. Here it is out of the box:

Looks good. Only thing missing is a seat...bars are pretty roached as are the grips. Let me know if you have any of those items for sale and can help us out.

Commence operation tear down...

At 13 and the only child in the pipeline, I’m cherishing every second of this build up. It will take a bit of time with school and baseball competing with bike time but we will get there.

Are you planning a complete restoration with new paint and rechroming or clean it, grease it, and leave the patina. If you're leaving the patina, I think I have the handle bars you need.
