very nice. Reminds me of my 66 Stingray (bad pic, sorry)

I'd like to get the post out but Im afraid I'll just break a chunk off the seat mast if I tamper with it too much....and with the top tube the way it is, I dont wanna mess it up even more. (and I dont own an impact wrench!) Didnt even think about a pad/moisture, but thats probably exactly what...

just came across this the other day. ROUGH. Top tube is fried. It looks liek the top tube was underwater for 20 years. Weird. Seatpost is likely stuck forever and the seat mast is cracked in three places.....oh well. Still cool. These dont come up very often.

wow, love it. Would love to have!

yep. snagged the bars and cranks for another project.

bike swap score: Univega Cruiser 500 w/ gears! after I stripped what I wanted from it:

Cheetah...with an h. Pretty much every part of this bike was copied :)

this caught my eye on CL this AM, might try to get it:

nice man! Here's mine:

crankset upgrade. Needs a chain and I'll be rollin!

It will eventually make several trips to the bar (hopping curbs along the way) and the occasional trail run

many thanks to member ind-chuckz for the frame/fork/headset/stem/seatpost/clamp and wheelset. It arrived at my house last night and I threw some parts on it. Here it is this AM:
