Picked this up a couple months ago. Then decided to sell it after determining some of the parts would be hard to find (like the headlight) So you have probably seen it in the for sale section here on CABE. Well I got lucky and scored some parts on ebay so I decided to keep it. Here are pics of what I started with.

I was on ebay last weekend and came across some fleetline parts. Found the correct headlight along with a nice set of fenders and pedals. The front fender that came with the bike was the wrong one.

I broke the bracket of the top of the rear fender, so I have to wait to install it until I get the bracket reattached. But I swapped out the front fender and pedals, added the light, and while I was at it I swapped the black tires for some whitewall lighting darts I had in the garage. I also have a nicer seat I'll be putting on it. I really like how it's coming along. Starting to look like a different bike. Here's some current pics.
Still have to replace the seat and rear fender, and figure out an issue I'm having with the rear hub. These pics were taken at night and I think they actually make it look better than it really does. I'll have to take more during the day.
