Title: 1983 National pro Long rescued ...
Post by: Church on July 20, 2015, 04:46 PM
Five years ago , a friend of mine scored this NATIONAL PRO LONG in a bad shape , he was decided to do something good with it but he had not many time to start the resto , so he trust on me to do it ...
In 2011 , it was time to rebuild the survivor ... Almost the parts used are cominG from other survivor bikes and are restored , only tires , hubs , forks and padset are NOS ... And some updates with new pics today ...
