Looking good enjoy riding it!

Yeah I'm super jealous, I could never afford to have an arrow unless I found one that someone didnt know what they had, but I do enjoy looking at yours and all the others, and props to you for riding it, most of them are dust collectors but there are a couple that see some use, nice bike keep those pics coming!

Were the fenders too far gone to save the plating or have them rechromed? This is quite a rare bike being an Arrow with a straight downtube & fluted fenders.

That’s the one from eBay a few years back if memory serves me.

This was the only existing completely original example of an arrow with fluted fenders and deluxe stainless tank darts, chrome guard and rack in existence. All other deluxe Arrows are restored. This was the eBay bike. It exchanged hands a few times. Robert Wolfe bought it and resold it. I wish I could have afforded it at the time. It would have gotten matching patina wheels, Lobdell seat, and some new tires. That's it. They'e only original once. And as far as Arrows go, there are less than a dozen in original paint. Unmolested.
