take off the rear fender, and you could make a trailer hitch!

True!!! Oh, I have so many different plans for this bike! I just cant stop looking at those shapes over that rear wheel!

EDIT: might sound a bit perverted...

I have now bought it for 50 dollars! Photos to come.
It has been in a barn for about 35 years according to the guy who sold it to me. He seemed to be a bit unstable but said he was the bike owners son. He was on something when dealing about the price.

The bike is rusted but the wheels roll knife sharp, lights work etc.

I am curious about the measurement regarding stem, handlebar, seatpost and so on... I am hoping on standards but everything looks so narrow im diam, including the frame, yet the bike is way heavier than any of my other bikes. It sits in my livingroom right now, havent had time to investgate.... OK -Drunk report - Signing off-
