The dream.
After seeing “Redeemer” it became very clear that my father in law dreamed of have a vintage airhead of his own to cruise along the New England coast. After looking for 3 months, I found a good looking bike only twenty minutes away. Unknown mileage and had not moved in a handful of years, but no rust or corrosion.
Design
Knowing Roy this bike is going to get some serious use, so the focus was to restore the mechanics to their former glory and replace the missing and broken parts.
