Check out the bike, circa 1966.   And the style, very mod.   If we had assistants like this we would NEVER get any work done.

What do you mean if?  You don't have an assistant like that? 

[Chaos]

Or is that assistant wench?  And what happened to the front of the bike?

[CRASH]

Really?  You were looking for a bike?   ;D  Actually, you made me look for it ... it is there, but looks faded out for some reason, you can see the back of the front fender if you look carefully.  Between the guys knees ... and the bottom of the tire to the left of his knee just peeks out ... and there was no way to tell you where to look without the obvious set up, so take your shot.  ;)

I think that it has something to do with the point of focus, or something like that.   For me it is Attention Distraction Disorder.

I know where my point of focus is.

45 years later, perhaps the bike could still be refurbished...

Hi, Larry,
    What bike?  I didn't see a bike!

[ljjohns]

I was simply contemplating the relatively simple task of refurbishing a bike from the 60's compared to refurbishing a cutie from the same period.  I have a pretty good idea about what's happened to all the parts on the latter over the years. But at the same time, procuring an updated model is, while theoretically attractive, operationally far too expensive (and probably frustrating as the rider may no longer be competent).
