Been lurking around here under a different name for some time now, email got hacked so I'm staring fresh.
Picked up a 77 shovel last year with the plan of building a simple no frills bike to have fun on. Well it took a lot longer to get my shop built than I thought so here we are now ready to go.
Story behind me ending up with the bike goes like this, seen an add for a 52 pan in a late 60's swinger frame with a clean title for a ridiculously good deal. Not running but whatever he only wanted 8 grand so I called him up and said I'll buy it sight unseen. bailed out of work early the same day and drove 7 hours to pick it up, called for better directions when I hit town and he says that he just sold it half hour ago... Fuck. Oh well. At this point I wasn't going home without a bike so I jumped online and found this puppy only an hour away. Started good, ran great, drove Ok (tires were a bit low) Also it turned out he used the own the pan I came to get originally, small world.
