The lady donor is back on the road. Lost the lame Wald guard. Left the red grips, I like the look. Good cruising lady!

I think I’m going to try to pawn er off on my sister in law Recently hooked my brother up with a ratty CWC and my niece is just learning to ride.

I also got a nice Miller stand off of this. You can see in earlier pics the Excelsior stand is propped up on a piece of wood. Standing much prouder now.

I have a correct guard on ebay if you’re looking for one? Just fyi..

Appreciate it! Alas, already enough into this detour. She’ll get the Wald and like it. Normal people are easy to please.

I think you need to start a new thread just on your workspace! My wife comes to my basement to gripe about how dirty it is. It's actually pretty clean. I was loving some of the lights. I think you called it FEF, although it is only Monday. Not to derail, is there a thread about lights?

Did some funky front end work on it this week. I know the fender is sitting back some… I like it like that.
Swapped bars and stem. Added a springer, light, and aftermarket rack I had.
Patina painted fork, rack, headlight. Can see in the sunlight that I want to do a little more work on those. Just a skosh.
Took it for an hour ride, I like it a lot.
