Scored this one from Craig's, first year Fastback that's mostly all there. Been wanting an early year shifter bike for a while and this being Radiant Coppertone made it all the sweeter. Rims are arrow straight, shifts fine, and rides smooth. Will give this one a good cleanup, a little maintenance, maybe a chaingaurd refinishing and fresh decal.

That thing is awesome :D I have a fastback, but it needs a lot of love. Is that chainwheel up front original?

Yes, the '66 Fastbacks (and some early '67's I believe) used those "Sprint" sprockets.

Nice find!
 
Sweet. A guy at the scrapyard threw one out nearly a year ago and freaked out when I went climbing the pile to get it. It has one, but I was unsure.
