APOLLO LANDING NASA White Ross Apollo Racer Bike After the Bath

[tanksalot]

I found this locally ...
The very rear of the fender was test cleaned other than that the bike is as found . This was owned by a Girl ( That barely rode the bike it appears) back in the day & sat in a Garage for 35+ Years I was told. I'm pretty sure this will be a keeper at least for a little while. Is white hard to find on these ?? Id also like to know what year this one is ?? The lettering makes me believe its early but the Chain ring makes me think its later ?? As always any help would be appriciated ..

Wow, that's a nice one! I like 'em as single speeds too.

That is in great shape!

 

[Rat Rod]

Amazing!

That bike is going to really clean up well...should look mint.

Does it have a kickback hub?

I'm not sure if its a Kick Back the hub does look a bit large in the photos ..
Ill check when I get a chance .There is a few small paint chips above the badge on the head tube other than that this bike should clean up very nice.. How common are these in White ?

 

[Rat Rod]

No idea on the rarity of the color, but the sticker on the seat tube makes me believe that it's a 70s model bike.

This is after a quick wash .It was finally nice enough out to wash the bike.

I don't recall having ever seen one in white, much less without stick shift and handbrakes.

Very cool!

It's not something missing from that bike, because the shifter mount was welded on, and they were labeled with number of gears.

Ive seen Racers before They made the Racer Early to late in the production of Ross Apollos. Some Years back I had a red Racer with Plastic Yellow Fenders at that time I thought the racer was made only at the End of the Apollo line .

Green with the Yellow seat is a tough variation to find & sought after but Ive seen two of those in person.
This is the first White one Ive seen . If some one has a White Apollo in any speed/ condition please post a pic.
