I have looked all over the internet trying to figure out what year this thing is........does anyone know any good sites that might help me figure it out.....the markings on the bottom bracket are clear and totally legible but I cant find a site that can tell me anything about them.

All Crazy Horse can say is too kooL, keep it original, custom finish by mother nature, you might not want to piss her off it's awesome the way it's.
Peace Crazy Horse!

Here's great vintage bike forum. http://thecabe.com/vbulletin/index.phpI wouldn't mention that your motorizing it. I don't know what they're attitude is over there.

I agree.
I think it looks great the way it is! I'd get it mechanically sound and put a motor on that thing!
Another thought, is you may want to check into the value of that bike it could be worth alot.

Why can't I ever find something like that? I hit the garage sales, flea markets and watch Craig's List but all I ever see is way overpriced junk or hundreds of high end mountain bikes. Rats! I'm so envoius. That is a beautiful find. Keep us posted. And please, please make that tank functional.

2door believe it or not my buddy found it just spinning thru craigslist and he knows that I am a bike nut so he let me know and I went and bought it the next day. The fella I purchased it from said that I was the first caller but after I called he said he got a flood of calls..........I got lucky for a change!
