Couldn't possibly leave it like that.

You can tell that rear coaster hub was built to last!

The whole bike looks very durable - rims, spokes, forks, frame.

In case you anyone is wondering, It's a drum brake with a freewheel. I found it in some pile of wheels and thought it would look cool on a some 70s build.

I have ridden it and even jumped it, don't know how we did it. Brought back a memory of grade school when I got into a jumping contest with some kid who hated me named Tom Woodrup. After I beat him (Apparently ole Tom was a lousy jumper) we became pretty good friends

thanks for the tip on the tires by the way.

Don't have the square plate or numbers for the # 55. I couldn't let an original plate with Yamaha decals go to waste. Besides, mine was an A model and eventually I'll get one that is all original

I got some e-mail on the stand. It is a home made painted PVC one. Total cost around $5.00
