Red Sports Tourer

[Tim s]

I recently started restoring this Sports Tourer. The spokes needed replacing due to rust and the bottom bracket needed servicing too so the LBS took care of both. I compounded and polished the frame and will put a final coat of wax on once everything is back on the bike. Tim

Is it opaque red? So a 74 model?

Yes it is even though it looks orange in the evening light. Tim

Sweet bike and the whitewalls make that thing jump off the page. Nice job.

Nice looking bike. Nice to find a tall frame. I like applying wax before all the cables get in the way. Makes it easier.

That color looks a lot like the Sunrise Red on my Cimarron. If you need to touch up a chip or ding, try Testors #1203 - it should be close enough.

Thanks for the tips gentlemen, I waxed the bike today after work with mother’s paste wax and cleaned and installed the rear brake. Tim

Looking most sharp Tim!

Thanks very much for the update with the new pictures.

Do you plan to stay with the OEM gearing when you put her on the road?
