STBO Luck Be A Lady

[metalchewy]

Lucked into this 54 Higgins skip-tooth.

For a start, she needs a good cleaning, maybe a little BLO or Wax. Lube on the chain. Front fork needs to be slightly straightemed. Horn tank works, just need to add some new batteries. This fine Lady also needs some new shoes.

Get her Rollin and maybe she can add a bit of luck to get us out of this funky part of whatever you call it that we've been dealing with the last few months.

Put a tire on the back, cleaned the chain with some bathroom cleaner, and oiled it. Rides pretty well. Has a wobble and needs true-ing. Hub needs rebuilding, it's soft on the brakes.

Took off the tank to replace the batteries and found the tab the button contacts is corroded. Broke off when I touched it ...

Will have to find figure out how to fix it.
