West is the Best
Look Ma, No Hands!
I was in Laguna Beach last weekend and walked past the Hobie Surf Board shop. They had some vintage photos in the windows that were kinda cool to look at. That shop has been there since the 50's.
I have been putting some miles on my revamped 70's KTM Eurostar 3 Speed. Only the frame , cranks, and fenders are original (I have the old parts). I got new wheels with a Shimano 3 speed shifter, handle bar setup, seat post and seat to make it fit me better. It rides very smooth and fast on the bike trails and maneuvers through busy beach traffic easily.
It has a coaster brake that I not sure I really like but it does keep it simple and the handle bars free of levers. The frame is really fresh looking and has some nice detail. I think I would like to try to mount the original seat. It is not directly compatible with the seat post but i think I can make it work and be a solid fit.
