I put the finishing touches on the 1980 Continental Sat am. It was cloudy so the pics don`t really do it justice. Also, a bike I built last winter came back for repairs /changes

| This pic got the Bare-Bones Continental featured on oldtenspeedgallery.com for Halloween! SWEET! |
 |
| The skin-walls look like white-walls. But are actually a tad darker than a white-wall |
 |
| Going back to the Phat SAKE Road-Champion bars was a good choice |
 |
| This is always a good pic to include in your ads. It shows attention to detail |
 |
| The hoods required some razor cutting and removal of the "suicide levers" |
 |
| The Track-Saddle goes well with the tape and hoods and the bare-bones look |
 |
| Chain-stay guard made with 3-M detail tape. There is a little rust spot, at just past 12 : 00 on the chain-ring guard. |
 |
| An old friend came back this week for some changes / repairs. |
 | |
| Damaged levers replaced with re-furbished two-way levers. Extra padding was added to the bars on the flats and inside the curl. |
Cheers,Hugh
I had to look at that crank again harder. The reflection made it look like a triple at first! It DOES show attention to detail.
ReplyDeleteHey Steve,
ReplyDeleteYour right is does. I had not noticed that. I just finished cleaning up the Ashtabula crank for the Varsity. Thank God the next Schwinn "Caliente" has a three piece crank. At least I think it does?
Hey Hugh love this bare bones look you once went for. I am rehabbing the same bike, year and color, as we speak. I've never removed the suicide brake levers so they look like the ones you have here. I have the hoods, can I simply detach such and put the hoods on. Thanks!
