WOW!
If you looked up the word, Phenomenal, in the dictionary, you’d see a picture of this bike.
Those Delta Dominators, were appropriately named.
I might be inclined to put those on a shelf somewhere, but I most certainly understand your desire to keep this bike in as found condition.
It has been amazingly well preserved.
Kudos to all of the anonymous caretakers of this one.
Job well done!
