We now have a good rider and held up to my 240 lb. butt just fine though the brakes are not going to win any skid contest!
The cat likes it for some reason ?
The shifter was in sad shape, the mechanism was seized with rust but it came apart without dammage and the housing had the chrome flaking off so I sanded it as smooth as I could without spending too much time on it then shot it with some metallic chrome paint to cover some of the ugly !
I decided the original front rim was a waste of time so I used this old twisted spoke bmx wheel.
Did a quicky job fabing up the rear mount for the seat , could still use some work but its functional !
We'll see what else I can get done tomorrow !
