I'm so glad you're enjoying your journey here and the post brought back some good memories for you. This project has brought me a lot of joy, it was awful to see something like this so neglected. I had heard about the great reputation and following for these bikes and had to buy it. Supposedly, the quality began to decline after the mid-60's and the mid-to-late 50's bikes were considered the best made. Thank you @cabbagepatch! Cheers to the weekend!
