I live for the CABE
Going to put this one back up for sale. After I finished it I really planned on keeping it but found another project bike to work on and will need some funding for it. This one was lightly sprayed with red spray paint that I removed the best I could without damaging the yellow to much. There is still some red left in the creases, rougher spots and along the black trim. It actually looks kind of neat in my opinion. I added the rear rack and guard it was my first try at a patina finish but didn’t turn out to bad. They could be roughed up more if you desire. The seat has Elgin stamped on it kind of hard to read but want you to know what you are getting. The rear fender bottom mount is broke from the frame on one side not a major issue that I can see. Grips are rough missing the jewels. The left truss rod I made but turned out nice. The front rim is rusted in one spot on the inside pretty good but I think it’s useable. Maybe use a back up set if your going on a long adventure. I replaced some of the bearings and cleaned and greased the others. Good set of Torrington 8’s on it. It has a good diamond link chain on it. The tank is really clean on the inside. Should be a good bike for someone and hard one to find. $775 shipped from Minnesota to lower 48 PayPal for payment please Thank you

if it doesn’t sells let me know.
 
I thought this did sell? V/r Shawn
It did. I dont know why these posts keep coming up as if they're new in the forums despite no further interactions with the post but I dont know how to explain this glitch to staff.

It happens a LOT.

I own the bike now as of October 9th, 2020 (and before anyone asks, nothing's being touched in the way of cosmetic changes. Its staying Just as pictured.)
