I wonder if the original owner was left handed? I see the shifter handle was mounted backwards.

Good observation. Maybe he was European or Australian and rode on the other side of the road.

I see what you mean, The right brake lever is missing also along with the rear brake. That was the one you used for skidding the bike.

I'm a lefty, so I know that feels. That's a cool bike!

 

[huffy5speed]

yeah, that seat is the worse.

get rid of both the seat and sissybar; but over all you got a gem.
