'72 Neighborhood Traveler

[aaronarthur]

Picked up a 1972 World Traveler on the cheap. Tore it down, cleaned it up, repacked hubs and replaced all cables. Then added some new tires, vintage fenders, rack and northroad bars. Shifts and rides great. Finished it just in time to tow my kiddo in a trailer downtown for some fireworks. Super comfy ride so far. Now it just needs a Brooks.

Below is as bought and as tweaked:

That opaque green is a cool color.

I have a couple rolls of the original opaque green bar tape for those but never have seen that color in person

 

[aaronarthur]

Yeah, It's an odd one. Right smack between mint and lime. I had never seen it before either.
