....which just happens to have an original of about the rarest chainguard in existence. I thought you got your leaf sprung tornado saddle from that bike too but that looks like a regular tornado on there - not that there's anything wrong with a regular one lol.

I can't say I have ever seen a stem like that. It looks like a leaf sprung stem of some sort. What a crazy bike!

Thank you! Very rare stem on rare bike.

I did take the original tornado seat off this bike. I do have one of John's repo chassis to put on this bike though. V/r Shawn
