Check out his other auction also. I wonder how big of a pain it would
be to restore bikes like these?

Thanks, Myles!!
Looks very nice! I know zilch about restoration, but I can imagine the joy from the end product :)

Sweet!

Parts can be hard to find and the sizes are a bit quirky, but when you
get done you will have an unusual and awesome ride!
