This is my latest find. It was actually peiced together from four bikes I picked from scrap. The lock was even from the scrap pile. I guessed the combination and took an hour or so to put this together for a free fresh find. I have the chain guard at home but it needs to be straightened before it goes back on. I am keeping it at work for rides during lunch. I went for my first lunch ride today. I am very excited to have a fun bike I feel good about leaving at work and that I don't want stolen but if it happens I won't be out anything.

It looks good, original paint. I'd get a cheap lock and keep it locked to something at work. You can check what year it was made, the serial number is on the left dropout.

I'll have to check the serial number Monday. I may put a better lock on but for now it has a free "cheap" lock.
