Finally riding a big boys bike
This is a bike I have been working on for one of my customers. The man bought it at auction about 20 yrs ago in this shape I'm told. It was in the basement when I went to look at to give a idea how much it was going to cost to restore. We came to a agreement I found a tank from one of the cabe members after about 3 or 4 months of looking. This is the before pictures the frame had a hole in it about the size of a nickel where the battery had leaked.
My wife thought I was crazy for taking in this bike to restore but what can I love a challege. Here are the before pictures I will began assy. this week then will post after pictures

WOW, now Tony that is all that needs to be said. I just showed it to Regina and she had the same reaction. That bike turned out awesome.

Tony....I agree WOW!!

Nice job and what a transformation from a bike that many would not consider resto to an award winner.
