Yellow Jersey in Wisconsin could fix the stays. They are relatively local to you.
Neat bike though, would have cleaned up nice if it weren't for those stays.

I was jazzed driving over to get it. I almost cried when I saw the stays. I still drug it home after renegotiate, the serial number starts with 160, 1960 maybe. does anyone know who could replace these stays....thanks for letting me vent
