Re: 51 Shelby Airflo

The tank is original, it was missing pedals and the chainguard.

Re: 51 Shelby Airflo

My son put on the flipped bars (Girls from the 60's) and a modern gooseneck just so he could do a quick ride around the block.

Re: 51 Shelby Airflo

I put the original chain on and took her for a quick ride, only to have the chain break off at the end of my street. Shopping for a new one at my LBS tomorrow. Almost finished, just need to work on the seat and put on the chainguard.

Re: 51 Shelby Airflo

Wow! Looks great!
I like how the rear rack curves down, following the frame for a while, before it goes over the tire.
It accents the shape of the frame nicely. Like the black frame and chrome tank alot too.
