It's not a road bike anymore....
Cut up the old beat Univega. Used all of the tubing, bearings, BB, bars, most of it, actually....weld weld paint paint assemble, grease, adjust, groan, reassemble several times & finally ride.
Wheels and other parts are from donors I had laying around
Rear: 20" x 2.125
Front: 16" x 2.125
Hub: Freewheel from Upland BMX. Originally 7 sprockets, stripped and spaced to 3 spd.
Crankset: from BMX Upland 21 spd.
Sissy Bar & Rear Rack: Chrome luggage cart from Thrift.
Paint: Duplicolor Engine Paint, Pontiac Blue
Misc. Parts: hinges, bolts, nuts, clamps, etc. from the junk bin.
Vid....first ride.
Great fun...I really enjoyed this...never rode a muscle bike before...I missed that whole era...so this was a new learning experience and man, it turned out to be such a fun little bike to ride
O.K...Good luck to everyone in MBBO5
