Ok, so, here we go!
this thing has been sitting in my backyard for about 10 years.
the wife says stop building bicycles and ‘build the thing that’s been under a tarp for the past 10 years.’
I do have some major items done: I ‘cut up’ and had the seat reupholstered.
I have stripped, painted, balance and put new rubber on the wheels.
I have bought key parts to upgrade to dual disc fronts, cafe bars and other cool parts.
as I don’t want fuel to sit in the carbs all winter, I want to get this guy able to roll around and ready to ride next spring.
short term, I want to wash and derust, paint the frame, get the front end on and rear end on, then get set for spring.
