I have about 10 or so bikes in different levels of repair, four are riders at the moment. Into original parts and everything on a bike being made in the USA, will use a rusty bolt if that is the only American bolt I have. You have to have good rubber so it seems like the PRC is forced on you.
Here is my Derby that I am going though right now. This is the condition that I got it in, have done a satin clear coat now doing bearings and some spoke work. Sold by Pep Boys around the mid 50's, still trying to work out the date a bit tighter.

Have a nice day,
Andy
