Here is a black Speedster I built for my wife. When I got it from a guy it was rusty as heck with very little parts salvageable. He gave it to me, but I wound up giving him enough to buy a six pack of beer as he also gave me an old ladies Schwinn, which I’m going to make that one into a Klunker. I would have left the patina on the Speedster, but since I built it for my wife I knew she would never ride it in that condition, so I painted it black, added a Brooks saddle and a couple other things on the bars for her to enjoy those rides on the boardwalk in SD.
