After taking it apart , grinding and sandblasting , a new coat of olive drab and some decals , clearcoat , new neck stem (recycled from a vintage excercise bike) handlebars from an old Specialized , seat post clamp from a 60's schwinn , front rim from a Specialized mountain bike and some new grips..
Turning a seat post on the lathe in the morning , got a few hubs to pick from to build the rear rim and I'll be on the road...
