copper eh? curiously close to universal gold, but a bit classier. i think you chose wisely.

The fabricator (Moto Relic) that I dropped the frame and a pile of parts with has been getting to my stuff - frame mods and vapor blasting everything I can.

Hubs done -

Frame tubes on the bottom split - water got in the frame tubes and sat there in winter at some point in the past 46 years

Vapor Honing, before & after

Wheels ready to go out to Valley Cycles

So, what's next... the seat goes off to be recovered. I gotta go pick up all of my stuff and take the wheel hobby kit out to winchester, and the frame and other parts out to powdercoat. Everything else is packed up and if things go to plan, I'll be reassembling this sucker in a garage next month or two.

Picked up my wheel parts today and took them out to Valley Cycles in Winchester to get their awesome old school mechanic to lace & true and mount tires up. Their guy is going on vacation for a bit so looks like I'll have them back in about 3-4 weeks. The vapor blasted parts look soooooo nice.

Everything else is done and ready, will go back out next week to pick up and take the frame and other parts to powdercoat and the rest of the parts home to wait. I think I'll be reassembling around christmas holiday if all goes to plan.

Fresh!

**Goodspeed** · 10-29-2018, 01:24 PM

This is so dope. Just catching up on all the gloriousness - going to keep them in mind for the vapor blasting for sure.

.RJ · 10-29-2018, 01:33 PM

I guess that reminds me I need to break the motor down and get the cases out there for vapor blast and the head shipped out.

.RJ · 12-09-2018, 10:36 AM

I'm just going to leave this here. Won this ebay auction last night.

Senor_Taylor · 12-10-2018, 12:01 AM

Does it run. Is it another project? Something special about it?
