This is my 1965 ca78, I bought it in Dec. 2008 for $150, the bike was in awful shape...Probably should of just been parted out, but its all that I could afford and I wanted to try and bring it back to life...so here I am today, still working on it, slowly. This is also a shot of my tiny work area, but its enough for me.

And I know ebay or ohio cycle are pretty much my best chances for parts, but I am in need of lots of stuff, like a headlight and headlight ring...and much more so if anyone has any pointers for me that would be amazing.

Johnny,

Welcome to the forum! Please edit your location into your profile when you get a chance, you may have a fellow member close by! You can post on the parts wanted section on this site, try a local wrecking yard etc for spares. Retrobikes has a lot of repro parts, and are an absolute joy to deal with!

Fresh paint!! I know its not original or macho, but I think it looks neat and will look even better with all the chrome!!
