New addition to my folding family. A Hon Convertible. It looks like the stainless steel version. Everything is in great shape, minus the saddle and one pedal. Not sure of year, attached is a pic of rear drop out with some etching on it. This one makes No. # 9.

yeah you got it Jur .... they dont ride better than the painted ones from that era, but they are the much more collectible ones for sure.
I have seen people spending upwards of 500 dlr on ebay ....

I noticed a few Hon's on the web that have a laidback seatpost, where the top goes straight back for more aft adjustment. Does anyone know where I can get one, and what size will I need.

I also have been thinking of adding a larger rear cog for better gearing. I live where you can't go more then a 1 mile without having to go up some sort of hill.

I promise to keep all the orginal parts, if I ever decide to sale it.
