This is the original state of the bike. The paint looks like it was done with a brush. It's chipped up and awful looking. The bike may have been brown at one time. I'm not really sure. It is a tank, weighing in at about 37lbs. I decided to tear off some "unnecessary" parts to try to liven it up a bit. I removed the fenders and rack. Also removed the chainguard and took a dremel to the kickstand. It took four cutoff wheels to liberate it from the frame. I also replaced the tires. I still need to scrounge up a new seatpost and saddle and maybe change the bars. All things done I shaved 5lbs off it and with the other parts planed it could get as low as 25lbs maybe. It should make a fine winter beater or downtown cruiser.
