I live for the CABE
Thought I made a thread on this bike already but cant find it.
I had a 68' Apple krate in so-so condition with a recovered seat I bought from a friend. After finding out the seat was recovered my friend offered to trade back for it and gave me this bikes, a Panasonic 10 speed, and a 72 Deluxe Stingray in nice condition. Sold the other two kept this one.
This bike was original 3 owners before me but 2 before me it was converted to a 5 speed with a tandem drum brake, non original springer and fenders. The original fork would have been nice to have but I don't know who took it where. So I took the liberty of converting it to a Super deluxe using all original parts. Front fender is original super deluxe, rear 2 speed bendix blue band, repop Whamo Wheelie Bar and the bought that original sissy bar for $50 from a friend. (Does anyone know what bike that sissy bar originally went on or was it after market?) Only thing I don't like about the bike is that someone used a crème/white paint on the chainguard to repaint the decals so I need to find a mint original guard and get rid of this one or if I am lucky find a really clean super deluxe coppertone guard for it.
