Thanks brother. I appreciate you. I'm pretty sure my friend has since sold that bike.

Exactly! 🤣

To those that read my post in the discussion - some of this will be redundant. In March, I drove an hour and a half north to a farm in Manistee, Michigan where there was a "buy all or nothing" sale of bikes and parts of varying decay. I came home with a van-full, but the one I was after was a...

It's being miraculously saved by my buddy Dyno Dan. Unbelievable save.
