What wrong with this picture?

Post by 66Replica » Fri May 22, 2009 2:28 pm

I'm looking for a bike to restore. I found this one but it's out of state so I'd have to buy it and have it shipped. What's up with the rear fender on it? It looks weird to me. Any other obvious problems?

'Wierd' is right; looks like it has a 16" rear wheel, although I don't think it actually does. Rear sprocket looks huge! Tank emblems (obvious), kickstart lever (possibly entire mechanism) & engine valley cover missing. Painted by Stevie Wonder (one of my '70s musical heroes, so get off any soap-boxes NOW!) Take a chance at $cheap?

Might be helpful to look past cosmetics and think about what's right with this pore ol' thing...it's just begging for some love...looks like it's almost all there, rear fender and other needed parts aren't hard to come by, you're gonna want to repaint for any restoration you do...muffler on side showing doesn't look too bad, and they're not cheap...assuming it's reasonably priced and you've got time, energy, and some bucks it might turn out to be a decent rider...shipping might be a deal killer...good luck...Lee

Shipping is killing it for me so far. $350-450 to ship it down. Thanks for the help though guys. I'm going to keep looking. I'm determined to find a bike to start this summer.
