Well, I finally found the one. Beautiful bike in great condition. It runs great, and looks awesome. Also it's orange, like me. I can't wait to get my license and go out on the roads! Here are a few pics.


*Note: The "Serif" in the title is a play on my last topic "Sans" Cafe Racer. It's sort of a font joke I guess.

Here are a few more pics:

Well, the funny thing is my helmet is white... since the bike is orange, and I live in Austin Texas, everyone is going to think I'm riding an orange bike with a white helmet for the Longhorns... which totally isn't true. I just happen to find orange things. So far the bike is doing pretty great. The battery died the day before yesterday, so I had to charge that up, but now it seems to be doing fine. I think it must've been kind of low when I picked it up.

I'm also looking into getting a front fork brace on the reco of some other forums. We'll see how that goes. I found on for around $100, which seems pretty reasonable.

haha, yea supposively a front fork brace helps a lot with handling, which I totally see why.

I'd run a brace or a fender, especially on that bike. They're great bikes, but not known for their front end stability. Might want to test that battery. Have a multi-meter?

Beautiful bike. Have a blast with it.

Yes. I did test the battery. I had to charge it up, but after a full day it was still at 100%, so it doesn't seem to be prematurely draining. I just ordered a fork brace today, so I should be golden. Thx for the advice.
