Ok! Well I think the fenders are just Gona be solid original white.
Are the fenders suppose to be maroon? Or we're they original white?

The fenders from this era were never painted white. Your bike's fenders were painted the same colour as the frame. Fenders were also painted a contrasting colour referred to as CCM Ivory or CCM Ashes of Roses.

Vinyl saddle?

Is that Mesinger saddle vinyl covered? I have one that looks the same & is vinyl covered. I assumed it is post war & since it is not leather is not worth much. Am I wrong on both counts?

Good price on that badge James......120 dollars for that ebay badge was a bit much I thought.

Thanks oldrider. I've been emailing alredline and he has the stem I need as well so I'm purchasing that off him as well. I almost got this bike complete. It's exciting. But from buying the bike to finding all the parts I have spent $450 so far. Dam. I'm Gona keep it for a long while and ride it .

So a question? Would you guys leave the rims, fenders , and truss rods bare metal and clear coat them? Or try and match the paint and get them painted to match frame and forks?then somehow try and aged the paint. At the moment there bare metal cause fenders were not maroon and truss rods and rims were unsavable.
