I picked up a complete 1975 basket case last month and had zero experience with vintage bikes. By reading this site I've already been able to turn a bunch of random parts in a box into a running bike. So to everyone who's already asked my questions for me and everyone else that's answered them, thanks! What a great enthusiast community.

I've put a hundred miles or so on it so far. Still needs some minor work, but for a bike that was sold for parts only a few weeks ago, I'm pretty pleased. Maybe I'll get some photos up once I have a chance to paint it.
