I live for the CABE
Finished dialing this bike in today…still waiting on pedals but ready to go otherwise. This is a gorgeous reverse green on green that at times requires sunglasses to look at!! This bike is an early 90’s restore by @bobcycles and has held up beautifully over the last 30 years. Only change I made was swapping out the 41 front drum (high flange) with a proper 40 (high-low) drum as well as replacing the calcified tires (they were cement and when I deflated the tube the tire stayed in place like it was plaster…kinda funny actually…had to cut the tire off with a razor knife).

This is the first footed badge I’ve ever seen in person as well as the first autocycle badge I’ve seen. Super cool!

hope you enjoy the pics…

Beautiful Bike! I love it. Bob does a great job! If the bike originally had an Autocycle badge before restore, it's the first one I've seen. Strange, I've seen lots of the NOS badges, but never one original to a bike.
 
Thanks for all the kind words. The bike is even more spectacular in person and is a bit of a chameleon. The paint colors have subtle changes depending on the light…sometimes the light green is electric and other times muted. Anyway, it’s definitely a unique attention getter!!
