My size. Damn shame.

Vintage ultra lightweight roadbike frame. Needs tires, tubes, cables, a chain and a good bath wouldn't hurt either. Front rim has a slight bend to it, will probably resolve once spokes are properly adjusted. One side of the front forks looks like it could use a little attention too. Rolls free though, it's like pushing the wind! This is the real deal. This bike might weight 10 lbs, MAYBE!

Can you get a DUI riding on a "chronic-moly" frame?

"I want it to figureout how to build the most affordable ebike. I did but was not happy with performance."
This looks like something I'd have wanted to build around age 13, it has the same quality as my R/C endeavors. I'm sure he learned a lot. Like matching the power to the voltage to the motor speed to the gearing!
It was a fairly decent late-80s or early-90s Raleigh MTB before the project started, it even has a spoke holder which speaks to the touring bike contribution to MTB development. But I have no idea if the frame is sound or if it would still would be after the motor was taken off.

How about this gem for a paltry $300? Not even a 3 speed.

I thought this was overpriced at first, but look at all the care and attention that someone put into those pinstripes!

This guy telling me the bike is pristine and rides like new in 1975. I hope the tire wasn’t that close to the down tube in 1975.
Still, with the leather saddle and the Cyclone, I want this for the parts.
