Well... sometimes you have fun with something for a while, and then you change direction slightly. That's what it's time for me to do now. My kids are growing so fast and I'm finding it harder and harder to tear myself away to go out in the garage and staying up late ain't as easy as it used to be.

I have decided to sell at least 1 of these, possibly both. I love both these bikes for different reasons, so I'm just going to list them here. Buy 1, buy the other, hell buy both if you want to!

There are "build" threads for both bikes on this forum if you care to see more details.

Located in Charlotte, NC. I am not shipping these but will work with you on delivery within a reasonable range if need be.
 
First: The 1978 Standard:

OK, the 1978 Standard is sold.

With 1 bike in the garage I may actually be able to park my car in there again!

Leaving the 79 listed for sale for the time being. If I decide to tear it down for paint or just plain ol' change my mind I'll update the listing.

Well. It's official. We bought a different house and it has a CAVERNOUS garage.

On one hand this opens up plenty of space for a bike workshop, but on the other this actually opens up the opportunity for a "Sunday car" which is something I have dreamed of since moving to the US in 1995, so I'm still thinking that I will continue to try to sell the 1979.

**Since the 78' is gone, not sure if i makes sense to edit this post or to start a new one. If a mod wants to chime in I'm all ears**
