Couple of details to deal with but otherwise its a rider. Super skidding action with the hydraulic rear brake. The seat will be replaced with a metallic one once i have a chance to sew it up. The paint is more copper than "gold", but i like it. Hopefully the chain makes up for it.
 
Hammond Eggz: The tires are Kenda "Kraze's" but on line they were listed on line as Krusaders. Either way I'm liking them. They are 24 x 2.3's, only about 1mm clearance between the seat stays and the chainguard will need a bit of trimming. Cant beat the price off Kenda's website: weekly specials, only $4.00 each!

GoldStreet: How about i theoretically give you the bike, that way you can enjoy it vicariously through me. Its the thought that counts right :?: Your surprise is smaller than a breadbox and the NOS vintage original box containing all necessary items is non bike related..... :wink: (suffer)

Sensor, That's my son Rohan mugging for the camera. What a character! Maybe a mini version of this bike to fit him would be fun.
 
Unclekudzu, those brakes are Magura HS33 hydraulic. cutting edge brake technology starting in the late 90's, now pretty much outdated due to disc brakes. they are much stronger than cable type cantilevers or "V" brakes though!
