Evans Commander, still not sure what year. I've been hunting one of these for a while... My buddy found one last week, and I immediately built it up rode it for the first time last night!
25" ape hangers on my foldie. Looks good from this view but 25" ape hangers on 20" wheels doesnt sound cool. Thinking of changing the front wheelset to a 26" so it rides like a chopper.
Recent upgrades include stenciled chain guard with matted clear coat simulating the Silver Mist color of the original Manta-Ray and an original Wald high-rise handlebar from a 1969(?) Sears girls banana seat bike (bought the bike for its handlebars).
