Love that RIN chainring. I’ve got one on my 57 Birmingham Gazelle.

Finished cleaning up the chrome. Now to start polishing up the chrome and paint.

After all the likes: It goes up for (preferably) trade or sale at the Westminster, MD swap meet next Sunday. (Edit: Not realizing a couple of people had posted after me, I'm talking about the Royal Enfield).

Looking Great!!!

Which kick stand is more appropriate?

 

[Threespeedmafia]

Shuresto kickstand for the win.

 

[SirMike1983]

I agree the Shuresta is the better choice. It should clean up fairly well, but you may want to pad the chainstays before mounting it. They're stay crushers.

wrt propstand mounting -

IIRC ESGE & Hebie began offering propstand mount cushioning pads as a separate item some years back

available for purchase on ebay.de

SirMike is fond of the Trygg bipod stands but they can be difficult to locate - made in Sweden

Sir Mike. Will the adjustable height Shuresta kickstand be appropriate for this era bike; i.e. we’re the adjustable Shuresta available in 1960?
