Also the seller drilled a bunch of holes in the frame .No biggie I don't think it's worth filling them in , you might be able to use them for something like drink holder or ???

Fenders ...
I have some questions ....
I tried some special vinyl paint that seems to work quite well .
But only painted the inside of the fender as a test .
The problem is I tried and tried to get as much of the black paint off as I could .
But there are some light black streaks that just wont come off .
All in all the fender is not in bad shape .
I still can't belive I didn't buy this bike .

The guy that is doing my seats is a good guy and I asked him if there was a cleaner
that would bring back some of the color to one of my old seats .
He told me to just re-paint it w/ some paint he uses ...
Told me what to get and where to get it ...
Heres what happened ....
