Finally riding a big boys bike
‘Budget priced tourist model…with a Stik-Shift gear control lever.’ Here’s another fine purchase from ebay’s shadow27, restored by the Cabe’s kostnerave, and added to the collection as a regular rider.
No rust. Replaced saddle in good condition but slightly faded. Right pedal is welded onto the correct-year stamped crank arm, likely because the threads were stripped. Several paint chips and scuffs, new cable housing, plated kickstand with crisp click when kicked up or down. Like-new shifting and braking.
Not showroom quality but the vibrant violet and bright chrome turns heads when it’s ridden around the neighborhood. Pleased with how it turned out.
