I bought this from the original owner today. His father bought it brand new back in the 60's but never used it because of how hard it was to ride it. It's all original down to the tires, the chainguard is even there (apparently they're impossible to find). I cleaned the bike up a little bit when I got home and cleaned the paint and the chrome and it looks NICE!! The paint cleaned up really well, I was hoping I wouldn't need to repaint it. I still need to polish it a little. I've been wanting a tandem bike for a while now, but never could find one around here that isn't over $200. I'm going to clean and oil the chain and re-build the rear hub. Also the rear handlebars won't tighten in so I'll have to figure out what's wrong there. Hopefully it'll be a rider... that is, after a few falls and I figure out how to ride it lol. I need to buy a new set of whitewalls and tubes for it and maybe some new black seats? I don't know yet. This will be my last purchase until spring break, I need to save money because there's a swap meet in Houston that week.
