i built this here in iraq . i didnt really have time to do a resto but hey its a start. its also my first build . it took me a bit to get all the parts. i finally painted my bike. being in iraq its kinda hard finding good paint but i think the olive drab looks good with the tires and seat.

does anyone have any ideas for brakes? i have a sort of "ghetto rigged" u brake system now and im not too satisfied i really dont want to modify the bike and i have a rear freewheel so im a lil lost on ideas haha. thanks for the comments and help

[NewOrleansFlyer]

I never was in the military, but thank God every day for men and women who are. I would be proud to ride with you upon your safe return...now, how you gonna get that thing back home soldier??
