77 Speedster

[Edward Stately]

Picked up this Speedster for $15. Has the wrong seat on it and missing the rear fender reflector. Pretty sure I have the reflector in one of the parts sheds. It rides nicer then I expected it would. Pulled the rear wheel t get the rock hard gravel and grease combo that's covering the rear hub and halfway up the spokes. And the chain is weak. But for $15 I'd buy every one I could find.

Nice looking Mesinger cruiser seat. Is that the full size version, looks somewhat smaller? It's a better seat than what these came with.

It is in pretty good condition. Needs a little tlc. I'm going to replace all the cables and housings. The brake pads are closer to being plastic then they are rubber. Over all its in good shap, paint is good and shouldn't be to much work to bring it back. I'm replacing the rear fender and I ordered some new tires. I was surprised at how well it fits me. Most 26' bike are bit small and I have to get creative with the handlebars and I have a pile of Different size seat posts I've put to the torch and laid them back. This bike I jus need to adjust the seat and stem hight up a bit.

It's a Persons. The nut holding the nose bracket in place was missing and had to pull it apart to get to that so I've sanded the pan and frame and getting ready to repaint the black and I have the springs and spri g frame soaking and will polish it up this evening. And you are correct it's more comfortable then stock.

That mesinger seat came in a few different styles and yes some of them are a little larger in that they have more padding on top. Also that version has tabs under the seat to hold the cover edge up against the pan giving the seat a slimmer look especially at the back of the seat. It exposes the top part of the springs.

Frame is stamped Person, I have tan mesinger that is the exact same rubber cover except the mesinger cover is stamped mesinger at the back, but the Persons cover is blank at the back. I put the tan seat on the bike and I like that color combo better then black and dark red. So I'm going to just find some tan grips to match the mesinger
