It's a 1966.

It's in about a 7 (close to 8) out of 10 condition. The electric light and horn both work.

That was my next question.

[stosh]

Yeah I'll be ordering them shortly.

 

[splat]

How much did you get it for ?

 

[jimmydean]

It's not about the ride, it's about the ride.



<edit> that thing is sweet!

 

[greenchris]

that's a awesome cruiser

 

[hooples3]

awesome purchase stosh... i bought and old cruiser a few years ago via ebay.. my plans were to fix it up and make it a mountain bike single speed.. unfortunately back in the day they only made one frame size... and thats too small foir me

 

[bluebug32]

nice! You're gonna have to move into a house to store all these bikes!

 

[dogwonder]

how many restoration jobs do you have now?

This is my second but it's not a restore, it's ride as is.
I may get a new shiney chain and some whitewall tires but that is all.

where'd you find that, Stosh?

 

[bikenweed]

An idea: you could make it a fixie; toss on drop bars, lighter cranks, new rear wheel, and seat. That would destroy the fixie-indie hipsters at the coffee shops.

Like the cruiser a lot, that thing is great. Congrats!

 

[partsbara]

yeah, that is very nice... i d also be curious as to what it cost ya (if it ain t a rude question)

 

[stosh]

Bought it at a garage sale in State College PA.

 

[stosh]

I paid $100 for it.

 

[Ian F]

I paid $100 for it.

Score!

 

[stosh]

Score!

Yeah I thought so.
It has a super strange flex in the headset when I turn the wheel to one side. I'm going to have to tear it apart and take a look at it. Other than that "she's a beaut Clark!"

 

[Ian F]

The bearings are probably shot, or at minimum need repacking. You should probably repack the grease in the bottom bracket and hub bearings.

Wow... just realized I haven't had a bike with loose bearings in 20 years...

Yeah I'll probably just buy new bearings for the BB.

I just need 1hr of free time to rip the bike part.

 

[N8 v2.0]

Nice 29er!

Congrats on the nice cruiser.

While you are getting dirty - check the hubs. When I bought my 60's Columbia the grease in every set of bearings - including the hubs - had turned into some sort of dry, chunky paste.

Yeah I'll probably do that as well. I hate tearing the rear hub apart, I can never seem to get it back together properly.

 

[robdamanii]

We both are planning on it. Need to get ahold of George and see if we can get some sort of map or directions of the trail so we can pre-ride Friday or Saturday.

 

[douglas]

I'd bet it would be marked by then & you wouldnt need a map

 

[stosh]

Actually it's already marked out.

BETH and ROB if I didn't just give you both approval ratings to help pull you out of the red I would give you BOTH a disapproval rating for not knowing you way around Stewart and have a horrible sense of direction.

Go get lost!

I told you...without a map I can't find my way out of a paper bag. :eviltongu

Is the trail part of the DH40 trail off of the 208 entrance or is it a different part?
