Where'd the shifter go?

It wasn't period/year correct and not rusty enough. I am looking for a nice rusty 68 shifter

2012 Apple Krate #17 of 225. There is something about this bike that is different than any other 2012 Apple Krate. See if you can find it... and it's not Waldo. (Hint- It can be seen in both pictures.)

I have two early 2000's Pea Picker and Lemond Peeler, I don't have a pic of the yellow one but they both look the same

And here is my original 1965 Schwinn StingRay Deluxe

I have a friend that found a REAL crusty Manta Ray in the woods. Probably sat there 40 years. It now sits about 20 feet up in an oak tree next to his garage. This thing is so crusty, you can't tell what color it was...

Very cool Muscle bikes!!

I heard it's hard to tell the difference between the originals anyway. I would assume they look better because they're newer. I've seen them for sale and they're still not cheap, I'd like to pick one up at some point, I kinda need one.

Yeah, they're the same good quality checkered mirrors, if not better. Unusual with today's products, I must say. And yes, they are pretty costly. I think I got my two for about $150.00. Pretty good deal on e-Bay.

High wheeler, use Wood Bleach (Oxalic Acid) on the rust. About the best I found, use a brass brush..

Highwheeler. Use Wood Bleach (Oxalic Acid) on the rusty chrome. About the best think I've found, with a small brass brush..

The pics you saw were after using oxylic acid.
