Was sent the sample photo of the decals this evening for approval. Look very good. Won't be long now and I'll have this Torino finished!

seen this at swap meet today. I thought about this build :

While restoring my Vista Torino 500 on this thread, KJV sent me a photo of one he saw at a swap meet. So today I was informed that it's on it's way to me! The one KJV was kind enough to send me is also a first year 68. This one is a 300. That makes it a 3 speed with no coaster brake. I'm trying to decide if I should document its restoration or not. I'm going to start on it when it gets here no matter what. Thanks KJV for all your help in acquiring this bike. It's one I was looking for and in a color I don't have!

That's awesome. Dig these Vistas. Never knew any other bikes used Schwinn parts besides Schwinns.

One thing for sure : you won't have to...
Tear it down.

Waited on the decals to come in for a short while. Today they are on and the Torino 500 is finished. Really enjoyed bringing this one back to life!

Congrats on the finish, turned out well. And I learned a little about a bike I've never really heard of.
