So, all summer an acquaintance kept telling me of this rusty-hunk-a-junk-fold-up-bike that he got from a free box. He doesn't know what to do with it and do I want it since I love rusty junk. Yup, I do. Finally picked it up last month thinking "this'll be a great winter project!"
Well let me tell ya, apparently winter to me is a weekend in September!
Got her all cleaned up with the wire wheel, cleaned up the bearings, lubed the cables, hit her with BBQ paint, threw other forks on her and called her done!
What a blast to ride! It's a dang wheelie machine! 3spd shimano.
Now if only I could figure out how to make the brakes grab... Death machine!
Gonna need a new winter project now..
For the curious; the bike behind it is a 90's supercycle and the one outside (if you can see it) is a 41 ccm
Happy Halloween!!
