Cruisin' on my Bluebird
Decals and original paint are delicate.Getting closer each day to finishing.
Original wheels are back on, and it turns out that the spokes were on there (front wheel). For whatever reason, it looks like the guy tried to work on it and lost the pieces to put the spokes back on. Since I keep extra wheels for parts, I fixed it and trued it myself. I'll see how it rides when I'm done.
I found out that back in 1986, the bike retailed for $500. Quite a bit for almost 40 years ago.

Even when these bikes were 40 years newer, we would never allow one of our mechanics to clamp on the seat tube or top tube. If the frame gets "just bumped" and twists inside the Park Repair stand clamp, it will remove the water slide decal.
The safest clamping point is to raise the seat post and clamp on the seat post itself.
