The tank had zero rust on the inside and was in super nice condition, switched out the old super narrow fork to a newer nos double crown Murray fork I picked up. I pretty much built it up with spare parts from other bikes I had, 40/18 ratio, easy rider. Rides awesome and really feels 50's, can't really explain it, white t-shirt with a pack of smokes rolled up in the sleeve, Levi's and loafers, wasn't around back then but my pops was, really love that time. Don't mind the seat because I put this same seat on all my old cruisers, sorry in advance to the purist, I just hate the way those old troxel seats look. 8) Here she is, coppertone wheels and all,...
