The paint is not original; the fender graphics are from my little brain but the frame graphics are original. The colors are Chrysler Inferno Red & Cool Vanilla. I added the springer from a girl's Columbia (which was bent rearward), got fenders courtesy of SimpleMan as well as a smaller 44 tooth chainwheel, added a rack also (and had to weld mounting tabs on the dropouts since this was a base bike), ebay pedals and finally, changed it over to a Shimano 3-speed with twist grip. Not sure if the Troxel seat is original but it came with the bike so I cleaned it up and recovered it. The darn thing weighs about 40 lbs. Here are some pics from when I bought it to now:

Holy Cow! That's gorgeous. Nice job, everything about it is perfect. I have some cable clamps you are more than welcome to if you wanted them, just pm me if you haven't found some already. They'd need to be painted (light rust on them).
