This was a basket case of a frame that was badly mistreated in its earlier lives. I paid $40.00 for her. The rear triangle is noticeably bent on the left side but not enough to affect its ride or tracking, someone apparently fired a staple gun at the seat post as there are numerous staple like projectiles embedded in it and there are numerous deep gouges in the chain stays...so I decided to repaint the darn thing (Black, of course), bought a spare fork for $20.00 from a local bike shop (already painted black!) and put this thing together. It has Electra Wheels and rides very nice and turns on a dime. Think I'll keep her...kind of like rescuing a dog from the pound. :wink: On to the next build. :arrow:

VERY nicely done! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

That should be a LOAD of fun to cruise around on. Love the tires!
