Bike is now 100% complete, now, and the gears work perfectly, as I swapped out the regular continuous derailleur cable housing for a compressionless type housing, which lets me get all 5 speeds with a shorter throw of the shifter lever than the other cable housing . I also got a period correct Delta ball headlight for the thing, topping it off. Now the hunt to find nicer parts begins!! Here are the latest pictures.

Jim.

Now the hunt to find nicer parts begins!!

That's goin be hard to do!---Great bike!
 
Completed bike.

Here are the newest and probably final images that I just took of this bike last Saturday, May 28, 2011, as with the restoration, and installation of this bright green 1962 seat, the bike looks correctly "restomized",(customized, but restored, at the same time).

Here are four of about seventy images I took of this bike and my 5 speed Corvette that day.

Jim.
