My second Super Course was found on local CL. The guy was asking $30. I pulled out 2 20s. He didn't have change, so he said, just give me $20 so I did. Its a '78. My other one is a '73 and has been on here several times, built from a back alley scrap pile. This new project should go a lot easier. The paint is decent, and I plan to touch it up, and maybe re-paint the fork and top tube. I'd like to add new decals. How do you remove the old ones, but keep the paint, or should I go over the old ones with new?

As found for $20.

Threw on some spare wheels and crank for inspiration.

My other SC starting point. "Free" frame found in a scrap metal pile.

$$$ later, finished, one if my favorite rides.
