Well here it is so far. I have repainted it Silver and put some stickers on it. Thanks to Tim It will have some more stickers on it soon.
No idea what cranks to use yet. If I can find a replacement Tourney arm I'll go with that.
Here it is then.



Heres what we started with.

Looking good so far Glenn. Too many of these old dept. store cheapies get neglected, but after all for some of us these were the only bikes afforded by our parents bitd so its great to see one done so nicely.

Mine was bike shop as well !

The sentiment is correct - who could afford a P.K. Ripper on a paperboys wage?

I'm working on my original and the one I got from Brisben first.

It's off getting blasted and powdercoated now. I've got everything except a red pad set.

I'm still collecting bits for the one you sent me.

I'm trying to use the bars and stem but they're pretty pitted unfortunately.

I'll put another call out for ALPS bars before long.
