update!!
i stripped most of the paint off of the bike and lightly sanded the frame and added decals/stickers and then cleared the frame. i got a nos veith slick and a new kenda for the front. the fork and seat came off a womens' dragstripper. the sprocket, bars and grips came off of a 69 24" sears spyder. the shifter was bought on this site and shifts smoothly! i got cables and orange housing from the shop. the rear derailleur and freewheel are off of a 26" iverson roadbike and is mated to an old cheap freebie wheel.
