I got this one ready to go for my daughter in case she wants a bike at college this fall... If she doesn't, I guess I will sell it.
I scrubbed off a black spray bomb paint job to reveal an older brush enamel paint job underneath. The color looked nice, so "a bird in the hand..." Replaced the skip-tooth chainwheel with a 1/2 in version. I bought the modern chinese wheels some time ago with her in mind as Tiffany blue is her favorite color.
Another hi-tech aircraft grade aluminum seat post, with lettering still present.
In AZ, way back then, many bikes where stamped with registration numbers...
The tank is artfully "patinated" to coordinate...
and the last two...
