Picked up a project 550.

I have been keen on getting a project bike for a while now, for a couple of reasons. Mostly because eventually I want to have two bikes so that when I need to do work on one bike, I can still ride the other one. But also because I enjoy projects. Wrenching, and modding, and painting are all enjoyable activities that I find meditative.
I’ve considered many bikes, but always thought it would be great to have another Zephyr. So when I caught wind of someone in Seattle selling a project 550 for only $100 I jumped at the opportunity. Fortunately for me, I had a friend in Seattle for work the next day, so he was able to pick it up, and now I have it.
It’s seen better days, but it’s almost all there (lots of parts in bins). I’m very excited and can’t hardly wait to get it up and running again.
