In this part, I get into the details of the most important part of the bike - the wheels!!! Second only of course to the decals, which add speed ;) Vintage bikes are great, but wheel technology has come a long way since these timeless frames were produced. Luckily the frames for the most part outlived the wheels and can be easily retrofitted with modern wheels, which make a superb ride that would rival any brand new bike of its kind. I got really lucky on the decals. Layout and scribe center points on the frame and the decal itself so you can align it perfectly; alternatively scribe the back where the decal edges meet and begin from one of the edges (harder in my opinion). I got very lucky to only freehand it and miss by only 1mm or so. Next time I have to apply one of those, I'll show what I mean. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yt3E8_Ot2OQ

Here is what I think you can do in your town to boost your local economy. More is less when you think about it; when you buy local, you might pay a few bucks more than some big corporate department store, but it is especially important in small-town America, where Main Street was doing just fine without that element not so long ago. That extra money you paid will come back to you much more likely if it remains circulating in your town and is not sent off to corporate headquarters states or counties away. Communities suffer when they give away their power and that's what happens when you shop in the big box. And if it is and if you must... as this is not an overnight, easy thing to which to transition... at least make sure that you support places that do give back to the community - through local sponsorships and actual participation in community events. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppcjIm4Bz5s
