I bought this '60 Speedster a couple days ago from fellow RRB member "economessed". I would like to clean up some of the surface rust without damaging the paint too much. I know it can be done, but I can't seem to find the right posts on how to do it. Anyway, once that is done I'm going to tear it all down, push some dents out of the fenders as best I can, and then clear coat all the painted parts. I couldn't help installing the way-too-clean S-7 wheelset with 2-speed kickback, but it's my first kickback and I didn't want to ride the ladies bike they were on.
Here it is when I first got it home.
And shortly after...
And now with the clean S-7 wheels w/kickback, a few stickers removed, and a reflector to fill the hole in the rear fender.
