Good evening all. My $25 flea market find of mixed parts is coming along quite well. Took her all apart and tried to assess what parts needed changing. This has been a learning experience for me and one that I’ve enjoyed immensely. I think I’ve picked up a new hobby that’s sure to ding my bank account from time to time. I needed headset bearings, grips, pedals(mine weren’t serviceable), a seat pan, chain guard, rear rack, and (made in the USA) tires, that I’m still patiently waiting on. My front rim isn’t a match for the triple drop rear wheel and it’s proven difficult to locate. I was very fortunate to recover the saddle chassis from the original owner’s sister. It’s a pieced together rat rod so far, but man do it like it.

I've got some WF grips, not sure the age, but I just pulled them off my 36 Elgin (my first old bike project) that I'll send for postage if you want them. Better than them rotting in the shed.
