Is it rusted through? If it’s only surface rust, go for it.

Personslly, if it’s only surface rust I’d restore it. I think it’s cool but it’s not for everyone.

Cool frame! That curved top tube is tight.

Dope looking bike! If it’s not rusted through it’d make a nice cruiser. Definitely worth saving with that dope rack and fenders. Just don’t repaint it, that patina is 👌

Whatchu mean “saved”? New tires, tubes, & chain and rock that thang!

Saved? That looks ready to ride.
Seriously, super simple bike. Take it apart. Grease all bearings. Service the coaster hub. Get some tires. You could probably treat rust and give it an oil wipe down. If
I liked it my fat ass would want a solid aluminum seatpost from Atomic. That’s it. Rat bikes rule.

1. repack bearings
2. install basket/box
3. ???
4. definitely not profit, but it would be sick

Sure. Hang it on the wall and look at it.

Def a labour of love type of project. I would just modernize things like the cranks and leave anything that’s viable alone. Loving the patina on the frame and proprietary front basket.

This bike will outlive everyone on this thread. Ride it if you bout it, probably not worthy of this tbh.
