Actually, I'm going to keep it like it is, and pick out another frame for the military buildoff. This bike was actually the top of the line deluxe model for Emory back then, hard to believe when you look at the welds and workmanship. Looks like a high school welding project. I hope the Emory people aren't reading this, but it's really poor quality. Even though the fork and frame are correct, it rides funny because of the position of the front wheel. If you've ever ridden a bike with the forks bent backward, that's what it rides like. The mount for the chainguard was welded too high on the frame, you can see in the picture a giant sprocket would fit the bike. The paint job reminds me of the 70's, flourescent green with flat black, probably hand painted with spray cans at the factory. Horrendous, but a part of history. I like it.
