    The Blue Polillia (lightweight sub build off)

    So just picked up this bike recently and need a daily rider so i will be using this bike for the build off. Depending how good the patina is i might just leave the frame. Fenders and basket are for sure not making it into the build.

    CL Find / Hiawatha

    Picked this up off craigslist last night. Really have no idea what it is and cant find any info on it. The woman said she had ridden it when she was younger. Going to clean up later tonight and will most likely become a daily rider.
