So i have never really been much of a fan for the o.c.c. chopper bikes because they seem to be cheaply made, and the chrome on them is prone to rust really fast.
well, i spotted one at a garage sale today and it looked nice.
the asking price was $40.00, but i got it for $25.00 because the seat pan is busted off the seat post. it just needs to be welded back on...no big deal.
the tires are like new, the frame is black and the paint is decent. it does have a few scratches in it, and some of the decals are scratched. The rims are both true, and it rides nice. it did have a tiny bit of rust on the chrome front forks, chrome handlebars, and the chrome rear fender. i got every bit of rust off using a good old s.o.s. pad.
so i decided that i'm going to remove all of the decals because chrome flames and lettering really don't do anything for me.
I'm either going to weld the seat pan back onto the seat post or make a custom seat for it...i'm not very fond of the big, fat original seat.
so i have not yet decided on if i'm going to motorize this one or not (it'll probably happen eventually) because i know that it takes a special bracket to mount a happy times motor to this frame. but man, this bike begs to be customized!!
my friend has already volunteered to let me take his 66 c.c. 2 stroke off his bike for this one.
we'll see what happens.
