Re: restoring two early Powerlites passed down to me
Damn, what a sweet hand-me-down. Two killer race rigs, stacked with parts.

Re: restoring two early Powerlites passed down to me
The hubs look like magnesium Hutch hubs (hard to tell as I'm looking at pics from my phone). If they are don't use any chemicals to clean them. Just stick to soap and water.
Very cool bikes and built up with nice parts.

Those are some sweet Powerlite soft goods. Would be cool if you shared your pics on this site's Powerlite thread here.

Can you repost your original pics, they are gone from your first post.
You can't put a price on peace of mind.
This too shall pass.

I concur. The current trend of pro bars on a cruiser just seems wrong to me, lol.
