Last Sunday I plopped down on the couch and lazily perused eBay for a few favorite search terms. To my surprise, I stumbled upon a mislabeled auction with an instantly recognizable thumbnail.
Being a fan of these bikes, I knew I should make an attempt to get it. The seller’s BIN was reasonable enough but the bike budget is always minimal for surprise bikes I don’t need. Plus my wife was on the couch with me!
The seller accepted my offer within a half hour and the bike arrived Wednesday. I was a bit dismayed that the bike was boxed with ZERO wrapping or protection - loose parts rubbing and clanking against each other from Ohio to Iowa, oh brother...
Today was tear down. It went about as good as it could have. As always, the rear fender hardware is about the biggest bugger. Parts went into Evaporust and I’ll being cleaning and waxing the paint.
Stay tuned!
