Very nice lookin' '78.... my favorite...
Just IMHO, but it would be a shame to café such a nice example.

Those 78s are pretty bikes. Don't sell your fenders. A couple trips in the rain and you will want them back on.

Hi XSLuigi,Originally posted by XSLuigi View Post
at least you didn't hardtail it.
And the no fenders thing is not a thing I'd do neither.
But it's not me who will have to hide under a bridge until the rain stops and dries off the road, is it?
However, that front fender is also a fork brace so without it your skinny undersized front fork will be even more wobblyarsed than when it left the factory.
Buy a TKAT fork brace. Best $100 you'll ever spend.Fred Hill, S'toon

thanks fred. Yeah I planned to pick up a tkat too, already emailed them about it. So that is a must haha.
as far as the rain goes, I don't plan on driving cross country with this thing so unless I get caught in the rain around town, I should stay dry
