Bike needs detailing and new grease. We are using the owners pictures and description as he will be dissembling and packing the bike properly which we do not do on bicycles. Built for the new model year as 1970 was the first year for Cotton Pickers called the Diamond Jubilee edition, bike is a 5 footer...
Real nice rims & tires, Center stamped front with original tire, double stamped rear with Uniroyal slick! Handle bars have a little peppering and a few deep scratches. Chain-guard has been poorly touched up as have some spots on the frame, decals have yellowed as seen in pics. Bike does not look quite as nice in person as it was a cloudy day and the details are muted in the pics. Back hub barely turns, we have not disassembled or worked on this bike so it will need new grease etc.
Bike displays nice but will need a new front fender as this one is pitted and not saveable, rear razor edge fender nice but someone sprayed the brace like an aluminum color so it will need a new brace installed. We are trying to show this bike in its worst light as this is not a show winning bike. Seat is a petes repop. Just a decent display or rider candidate.
