Spent quite a few years looking specifically for a Nov 79 Spitfire in Cardinal Red.
Finally found one...needs rims(these are tweeked), tires, and a hub rebuild.

So does this one have the Hungarian S-2 rims?

My '84 Cruiser 5 retrofitted with some 50s era fenders, tank, and chainguard.

As it was when I bought it. First thing when I got it home, after taking a couple of pictures, was to remove the fenders.

Anyone interested in a rack?

I still have all the original parts so it can be converted back.
