Hmmm... Looks like maybe 1973-74 model. Six spoke sprocket. No oiler on chainguard. No truss rods. I had a similar bike and also thought it was much older when I traded for it. But still a great bike that will hold a big tire!

Thanks for the insight. I didn't realize they made them that late. The wheelset is definitely different from what I had on Firewing. But the fenders look just about the same. The guard definitely has a 60s-70s vibe. Hard to tell much with the paint.
 
Had a great biz trip to Atlanta this week. In addition to all the business, I also got to do some bitness! On Monday I got to meet up with @Dr. Tankenstein and talk bikes in his shop while picking up the pink Felt Chief from him.

Then this morning I rode outside of Atlanta and picked up this craigslist score. It's a RJ Custom low chopper with Lit'l Bill paint job.

SOLD

Maybe that bike misses the cold, and OSU Michigan rivalry.
 
This was just too funky to pass up. Getting this Mesinger Long John Saddle from @Dr. Tankenstein

Got these teardrop repop pedals coming to me

View attachment 70810
Check those when you get them, the ones I got last year were a bit hard to turn at first. One kept backing out of the crank. I had to use loctite til they loosened up.

They are good quality tho.

They are easily serviceable too. I used a set like this on Firewing, but I changed out the blocks for brick red ones.
