Choices ????

First of all I must I admit I don't have photos, (camera is tied up with camping pics) but I just scored a 62 26" Typhoon it had been repainted pink and gray but it is complete except for the bars and stem (no big deal I have parts) now I am almost thinking restoration , as I know this type of frame with the twin bar is kind of hard to find, so is it worth restoring or will it be a build off bike possibly for next year ? WHAT DO YOU THINK ???

I sat "RAT" it! the Typhoon's were the low budget bikes and don't have alot of collector value unless they are Minty Original!..

If it's already been repainted, rat it. Value get's shot on those unless it's a very good condition original paint bike. My 2 cents. Good luck with whatever you decide.

If the original red or black paint is under there, I would shine it up after removing the pink and gray, and remove the fenders. All the chrome might shine up as well. Then a pair of apes since the original bars are gone, and it would be ratty enough right there and could be restored later if need be. A homemade wooden tank might be a nice touch also.
