Trends TR, it's like big bars and slammed seats on a new skool bike.

Lol, ratlook bmx bikes.
Save that for tore up old 60's VW's that are too expensive to restore.

Candy apple red metallic, new stickers, all original parts cleaned up - would so look so nice!

Big bars and slammed seats have been around for years, as have "survivors". 
Usually the survivor has significance, warranting it's status - a well kept original, a childhood ride with the stickers you stuck on etc.
Neglect isn't usually a good reason.  This is crying out for a refurb!  Would be such a fun job!  Gimme!

Bob_Acid:
If there's bad rust showing through the paint then go for it but going from that picture the paint doesn't look that bad. Then again if it's been repainted over the years who cares but if it's original paint it's worth a million refinished bikes in my opinion

Sorry, original question - yes, they are what would have come on this model.  Looks like the base version. Steel rims and coaster.
I sold a set of these recently.  They were very heavy!!  I still have the coaster hub though.  It's of no use to me, if you need parts!

Right Mark - give it a good clean up and lets see before you decide resto or natural  >:D :angel:
