73 Attic lemon peeler DISC!! WOOT (done with refurbishing)

[Xcruiser]

Got a call from my friend yesterday about a local guy wanting to sell me the bike he had in his attic that he bought his son in 1973.When i heard lemon peeler I about wrecked my car! its my all time favorite bike !! I never thought id find and untouched original.
Anyway after settling on price i threw it on the rack and drove 5 blocks home-THEN I SAW THE DISC BRAKE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DIDNT EVEN NOTICE THE RARE DISC BRAKE ON IT DURING MY EXCITEMENT TO SEAL THE DEAL!
it will clean up nice,minimal serious rust,paint fair,very dusty,tires still had air in them.Gonna park it next to my 71 Lemon peeler I built from scratch.

You scored on that deal. It looks like it will clean up pretty easy. They are still hiding out there. They come out one by one...lol

What he said. So did you have to take a second mortgage on the house to get it?
