Oh, the gold cranks are now red w/a white chain ring.They will go on at the shin dig at tnjsdad. Still looking for the front and rear red brake set.

Is that possibly the same brute stem as in the before pic. ???

Yes it is the same one. one week of wet sanding and hand polishing. I'm not done with it yet though.Gotta fix the redline down the center

Whoa !

It looks great to me even with the solid red in the center. And I thought for sure that you had to put it on a buffing wheel for that kinda shine.

I sure hope them ribs are as tasty as the bike! Good rescue Retrodave! Well done!

No, that is %100 labor of love on that stem. Besides have you priced one of those things? It was worth the blisters.
G-man. brotherman says hello, Yes those ribs will be mighty tasty. Started the fire this evening,ribs go into the smoker friday night. Twoday slow smoke.Um,um good....

Very Nice Bike Dave!!!

I cant believe nobody noticed the upside down stamp on the rear tire. Out of the thirty I ordered. It was the only one miss stamped.

Wow1, another unbelievable save, gd work.

Thanks yasser.
Brian I learned from the best. YOU!!!!

Terry

thats incredible, it looks completely different then before

nice save dave, sand the top off the redline font on the stem to really set it off.

I'd like to see the person's face who threw that out!!

Wow, that's super nice!!! I didn't know they made those tires, cool!!!! Great job on all of it!

Wow! That is simply a miracle. Those tires are cool, were'd you get them?

Awesome ride Dave, nice save!!

Night and Day, talk about Ying and Yang!!!!!!!

Phenominal the finished product really makes the find that much sweeter. Absolutely beautiful!

bro was going to ask was that the same brute stem .... but i see its already been though about , amazing , a load of time and effort has went into this . this is what makes this hobby , spending time ...not spending money !

Thanks alot fellow vintage brothers. I am glad that the bike was a hit. as far as the tires go. I got them through QBP . The stem is not quite finished yet. Just a little more love and it will be right.

Right on!! Cool ! What a difference, love the stem and bars and the colors are just awesome !! Its amazing how much the bike transformed....it will be even more awesome to see it fully completed with the other small touches. Congrats on a first great build !! Well done !!

ok here are the new stem picks

looks real sweet dave

LOve's it! check the "before and after" post, totally inspired by yours...

Sweet! Looks Great!
Great Find!

Before and afters are my favorite. Especially when done up this proud!

Awesome, being an understatement here!

this before and after was exceptional......Rob

another one saved - great stuff!

That is one of the best "saves" that I have seen, NO BS, it looks GREAT!!! It's hard to believe that it's the same Redline.

We want serial # pics to prove it!! (J/K)

Cheers,
Brian

bkquill. I got you covered. I knew someone was going to challenge me. So I thought ahead. Lowchin has the original serial # I have the same one in white. The reason he has the original is I put this on ebay and noone even looked twice. So I said f@#$%$%%^k it and the rest is history.

Dave that is a sweet ride and hats off to an awesome retore job!!!!!!!!!!!!!

here are the cranks that are going on it

HOLY SNAPS.!!! That is sooooo sweet. Check it out fella's. Rob hooked a cracker up. This is the first time I have seen them . Last time I saw them they were gold.
Thanks rob.
You are the true meaning of FRIEND.
I owe you too much , for all you have done too make this build happen.

Sweet deal!!! I just scored something kind of cool the other night, as I was heading home from a pub, there was a Schwinn Air Dyne out for the trash, and it is in good shape, now I have one for home & the shop
