This bike is somewhat of a Frankenstein creation. I bought the bike off Craigslist, it was all original other than the cassette and chain which had been replaced from wear in the 80's. I wanted to turn it into a city commuter that I could lock up. The paint is chipped, but the chrome is in great condition. I replaced and added a lot of parts. It rides like a dream now, clean as a whistle and ready to go!
