Once I get a fender clip, I have the correct braced dropstand for the bike. It needs a Defender for the rear, a new set of pedals, and as a future endeavor to make it more rideable in Cincinnati's steep terrain, I'd like to relace the wheels to a Sturmey archer 3 speed drum brake w/ quadrant shifter, and a dynamo/drum hub in the front.
 
This is a recent find. I added the handle bars, seat, saddlebags and wheels. I always wanted to try a 26x1 3/8 wheel on a cruiser. Thought about painting this one but it looks so sweet like it is! A Westpoint Rat'ler.
