History
This was an Ebay find. I was living in Sydney, the bike was in Adelaide. It hadn't been used or started for years, but was pretty original. I drove to Adelaide and back in two days, with the bike in tow. It was always intended as being able to be an everyday bike. It's no good to me if I cant hop on and ride it. Unfortunately, the brakes were really bad...probably ok for back in the day, but woeful now. So I looked into twin disk brake upgrades, and finally decided on a full front-end swap. I love how it has turned out...modern brakes on a classic bike. I ride it very regularly, and it goes very well for a 44 year old bike.
