Intended to ride it as is but don't trust pics...it's very rusty, repaint is really rubbish and sprocket bearings seem completely destroyed. I see it finished in my head but don't know if I will have time to finish it during build off. Still waiting for parts to create my dream bike.

Don't know at the moment which way to go with it but...I'm in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:dance2:
 
This is the fast build I have ever seen...:grin:
You will figure it out.Just have a cold one and marinate a little.
 
I can feel the pressure now!!!! :grin:
Starting with such a beauty is not easy for me.... don't want to kill it but can't leave it in it's original shape.... AAArrrGhh!!!! Don't know what to do!!!!

Whack some pedals on it and take it for a spin to see how it feels. Let the bike speak to you.

A laid back seat post would me my first addition.

It'll be a good one whatever you do.

That's a sweet package for anyone to receive.
I imagine that it is even more special being how scarce something like that would be in Switzerland.
 
Yesterday night I played with wheels...I love big wheels.

...to start buiding it.
For now I'm hunting for wheels.

As a lover of early kustoms, here is my inspiration:

The Calori coupe

See why?

Ideally it has to be black but don't want another black bike.
 
The guard mimics the tank gills nicely.
Those deep fenders should look good too.
What paint scheme are you thinking or is it too early for that?
