TRADITIONAL Yard Art Revival

Here it is, in its as good as it’s going to get glory. Grips showed up today, it was raining, so the wrapped bars will have to do.

My wife says it is strange not seeing a bare frame sitting in the basement. It’s been a staple in our household for more than a decade.

Just a small sample of the parts bin that was collecting dust. Some parts I was not able to find. I’m sure they will turn up several months after it is sold.

One part I was unable to find was the original rear lamp. I was pleasantly surprised with how this replacement turned out.

The fork is my favorite part of this build. So much so, I might save the fork if I sell the bike. Who knows what might happen.

This build was a lot of fun, and fun to ride. It was nice to get back in the shop and work out some interesting twists that came up.
