Great find at a great price! I have a 75 International and last year I ruined the rear wheel by following a car through a left turn at a stoplight a little too closely. The car completely obscured a pot hole in the shape of a ditch, and by the time I saw it, all I could do was try and bunny hop it (cars in front of me, cars behind me and everyone rushing to make it through the left turn arrow). I managed to get the front end over but landed the back wheel squarely in the hole. I nearly fell off the bike in a very busy intersection. I pedaled through the rest of the intersection but had to get off the bike immediately. I was okay but the rim was bent badly. It took a few months but I finally found a suitable matching replacement that I could afford. For those few months I really missed my International. I could never leave mine just sit unridden for years on end, so it just baffles me that you found yours in a garage sale after years of neglect. Anyway congratulations and I hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine.
