[Gebolys77]

Well this one been on cl for a cupple weeks but no picture so today I sent him a email and he still had it and that he lived 15 min away from me so I told him I would come take a look at it he said he's dad cleans out old houses and it was left in the basement of a house this is the picture he sent me

And this is it in the back of the car

I thought the space capsule on the side of the was cool. But I have never had any luck getting the head lights to work but I guess tonight was my lucky night

From what I can tell its og other than the rear western flyer tire

I will post some picks tomorrow of the hole bike

And the last thing to do is glass bead blast the chain tomorrow at work to see if its useable and I think I'm done

Don't you just love it when people do stupid things like leaving vintage bikes in the basement when they move out? :lol:

I clean out old houses from time to time and have never found something that cool. you should give the guy your name and number so when he finds more he can come directly to you

I did tell him I would be interested if he did find any old bike stuff and he wrote my info down. it's my second amf I also have a night hawk that my son rides but I'm sure that will look cool parked next to each other this is how I got it I picked it up for 15 bucks

And I just powder coated the top of the tank

Both very very cool bikes. I have the girl's version tank, and the same chain ring and rack from a broken framed bike that I scrapped a while ago. It was called a Bingmaster.
