Ten years ago I sanded and primed this rusty forgotten titan. A couple cans of grape spray paint for the wheels and frame, new rubber, some powdercoated parts, new double-butted spokes with the original long nipples, and this charger is ready for the downhill coast. Can you believe this was guaranteed build with Reynolds 531 double-butted tubing? N O T

Smoke & Mirrors - if you look very close in one of the pics you can see the "fishing line" attached to the seat springs, I have to be very still while the picture is being taken, haha. No Photoshop here,
