Finally riding a big boys bike
I've just about finished up going through the 61 Tornado I was gifted from post #125 and had a couple questions.
1. Would this have had the red and white S saddle?
2. It has an Atwood kickstand.
a) Would that have been original and
b) if so can it be rebuilt ? It's loose and sloppy.

@Uncle Shish, mine came with the red and white saddle.
As for the kickstand, I was having similar issues. I found a donor to replace the internal spring/sleeve. It wasn’t perfect but it was better than how I got it.

As a follow-up, at least for now, I ended up putting on a 60s red and white "S" saddle and a Miller kickstand off a 1939 ladies DX.
Put about 5 miles on it last night.

Great idea with the kickstand. The bike cleaned up well.

Did you take pictures when you had that stand apart? I’d like to see the working guts.
