My latest find... a '68 Coppertone Five Speed, pretty darn close to stock and original. As far as I (and a few friends) can tell, the only things incorrect about the bike are the new sissy bar and the single, springy cable clamp needs to be replaced with a correct double clamp. I'm going to get...

OK, I know this one's a '67! :lol: ... lost a decade on the last bike I posted! Anyway, this started out as a super score on CL at $60. Everything ran decent, so it just needed to be cleaned and re-jiggered with '67 Fastback bars, a repop Sting-Ray seat, new tires and a sweet generator light...

Hello! I've been stoppin' by here for about a year now, and figured it was time to join, and get a project started soon.. I've acquired a few cheap bits off craigslist and hope to put my first bike together this summer. Thanks to all y'all for tons of inspiration... there are some beyond-belief...
