Another total "do over". Bought this bike on E-bay. It had been in a very wet Indiana barn for the last 30 years. Check out the before picture. I managed to save all the important stuff but had to grind off almost every nut and bolt. Rides like a million bucks. Things replaced...Grips, Crank, Pedals, Kick stand, Tires, spokes, seat, lots of nuts and bolts, fender braces. My first bike where I did all of the pin striping by hand. Needs rims pin striped and new Hiawatha decals for the tank. Of course its missing the headlight. Finally, I repainted the headbadge too.
