Picked up this rare 1969 Vista "the Banana" mess over the summer, going to do a straight forward resto so this isn't going to set the world on fire. It was missing the correct shifter, and the rare/odd banana seat, i found a nice shifter that will work and tossed a seat on to make sure the Sturmey Archer TCW hub ( which is a unreliable hub) works, it is a three speed that has a built in coaster brake so it is cool to shift but still be able to lay a long patch!! luckily it shifts and brakes fine! Also the front drum brake was mess up good but was able to find parts and it now stops on a dime. Its ready to come apart for this late start.
