I’m done with this bike at least for the time being . The bike to my surprise is a really great riding bike !

I’ve been remodeling my work shop the last two weeks may not look like I did though and I’m still not finished . The grips I had where missing the reflectors but I had three that I found while cleaning . You never know what you have when you differ putting things in order . I found things I didn’t know I had still. LoL . It’s not easy putting glass in 90 year old grips. But it’s done. And I found the perfect brake arm clip . As you can see in the last photo I’m still remodeling. . View attachment 218609View attachment 218610View attachment 218611View attachment 218612View attachment 218613

I have repaired old cracked black grips and put in reflectors like you did. I used black Sho Goo to reinforce and fill in the cracks. Black Goo is hard to find. Our Ace Hardware has it and it’s available on line.

Thank you , Organizing the shop has been more work than building all three bikes combined . Plus I’ve been working on several other bikes durring this build off mostly doing outdoor stuff that I couldn’t do once the weather turns to winter. It will be worth it when I’m done with the shop . That being said I don’t think I’ll ever be done with the shop . Lol

I organize my shop, then winter comes. I throw stuff around digging for parts then run inside to get warm without picking up. In the spring I have a mess to reorganize.

Really nice. I’ve never seen an original one with decals so well preserved. Well done indeed.

A very good looking old bicycle. Its great to see them still being used.

At least you can still move around. Between my model yacht hobby and bicycles my shop is a warren of narrow isles stacked with all sorts of junk. I am on a shop cleaning spree this year, much more so than in years past and am gradually cleaning up the place.
