Now before you get too excited, yeah, it's a girl's model. But they're so freakkkkkin cool! So the story is, one night I was killing time by drooling over pics of airflows online, thinking "one day". I then came over here, and in the Craigslist section, member deven_science had posted a ladies airflow in Sacramento, and it was CHEAP. I shot him a PM, and two weeks later here it is! A BIG shoutout to Deven....he called the guy up, got the bike, broke it down, packed it up, and sent it to me. Even talked the guy down on the price :mrgreen:
Here are a few of the pics he sent me after he got his hands on the bike, you will see that it's got a lot of aftermarket stuff on it. Looks like somebody found it, snatched all the rusty stuff off of it, and replaced it with Wald stuff. Too bad
According to the seller, the stem, forks, and the crank are original to the bike. I think the dropstand may be as well.
Rolling on an older set of Daytons???
At least the guy saved the badge
So here's how it arrived to me, all broken down. I'm not going to reassemble it right away, as there will be some "slight modifications" Look at that gorgeous deco tank *drool*
Don't worry the bottle cage thing is going to be the first thing to go :wink: A look at the bezel and lens
Although I couldn't resist sticking a recently acquired Torrington stem in it.....it's gonna stay :mrgreen: Yeah, it's like it was MADE for this bike.
So now I have to decide what to do with this thing......Realistically, acquiring all the correct parts for it is something I'm not sweating over....one here and there is great. I would LOVE to have the correct fenders for it (with the curved braces) but I know those will set me back double what I paid for the bike. :x So basically, I'm gonna have a heck of a lot of fun with it and build it into a RAT 8) 8) 8)
Most of the aftermarket stuff from the first pic won't be used on the bike, so if you see anything you would like, let me know. I would definitely be interested in trading, as I have a laundry list of needs. MIGHT even be willing to part with that Airflow stem :wink:
