Does anyone else have a bike that you look back more fondly on that it deserves? This was my first project bike. It was really beat up, and I made a lowball offer that the seller accepted. Oops, just bought a project!
Redid the fork seals, the whole braking system, chain and sprockets, tires… But there were still even more problems than I had time for (paint, rust, fuelling weirdness, rear shock issues). I always wish I still had it until I remember how much more work it needed.
Most disposable cameras didn’t have a clock/features for the date FWIW, so it was probably taken by a non-disposable. The date seems to claim 2021 but that would surprise me too unless OP is a proper photog. Also, looks like socal to me
