People get that confused a lot in this hobby... one would think it be easy to figure out which is which but alas... what bobcycles does is a true to the term restoration...if you tape off your pins, use non factory colors or patterns, chrome things that were never chrome then that by definition is a custom... rattle can paint jobs are a custom. Not saying that that what was used. I’m just adding that to the list. A restoration is when you follow exactly what came from the factory.. tracking down nos parts ect... when you add something just cause you like it and it’s not period correct for that model then it’s a custom... sure, some kid could have added something.. but at its core, paint colors , paint details and metal finish and what it had including period options when it left the factory , those are key if yer going to call it a restoration...
With that being said, I’m not knocking the bike at all. I’d ride it and too me I think it looks cool... I only know about schwinn details and us schwinn guys have been known to pick apart to the point we bitch about the proper screws , so My brain is only wired to pick apart horrible B6 or phantom restorations...

The use of the word "restoration" separates the novice from the true bike person. Beginners use the word for anything they do to a bike. If it is not exactly like it left the dealer/factory it is not a restoration.It has bee made a custom. It is best to learn the correct word when describing a bike.CL is full of "restorations".
