1978 Zebrakenko Storm

Finally got around to restoring a 78 Zebrakenko I purchased 7 years ago. Added a few modern amenities, replaced the steel wheels with alloy (27 X 1 1/4), Tortec Velocity rear rack, SKS longboard mudguards (what fun that install was.....), Velo Orange skewers, computer, etc. Chrome is courtesy of Blue Magic. The original paint was in remarkable condition when I purchased it, but some nail polish was required here and there. The hoods are original and in great shape. Definitely keeping the dork disc, but debating about the bash guard. It's original, and does serve a purpose when riding while wearing long trousers. It is slightly pitted though - Blue Magic can only do so much. All in all though, I think it came together well for a 40 year old bike. I have a couple of Zebra's, always liked them. The next project will be a bright red 1980 Storm, Going to use upright bars instead of drops.
