Picked this one up Saturday - was quite the adventure, missed the house, wound up at the wrong place about 5 miles past... then my van died, turns out dead alternator, so the guy at the wrong house gratiously put his fast charger on the battery, to get me back to the right place, got the bike, then just got to a freinds house, where we charged it enough to limp it home. 1 hour trip turned out to take 4 hours+ .
This is what I got for my trouble:
It's a 77 5 speed, thumb shift... looks all original except the horrid mountain bike spinning hubcap rims. even has the Q bolts still, which is the only incorrect parts on my survivor 69 I had posted.
Someone has spray bombed everything, silver on the chrome parts, couple layers deep on the frame, looks like maybe silver, then red primer, then black.
I tried stripping part of it, and the blue seat painted black .. looks like it will all come off, but the paint is so-so anyways, so going to strip and paint it.
Likely a spring project, as I want to get into my buildoff bikes, but you gotta get em when the opportunity arrises, not many chances these days.
I think I did ok for 40, even in this condition.
