I just picked this up yesterday. It is a 78 shovel in an aftermarket rigid frame of some sort.The bike had been sitting in a garage for years.The guy I bought it from put a new super E shorty on it, new PM forward controls and a new rear PM caliper.He changed the fluids and got the bike running before he sold it.It has allot of cool old parts, like a phase 3 belt drive.I am going to ride it for awhile as is and eventually rework it.I am glad to have a bike that is more suited to this site than the others I have had.

That's a really good lookin Shovel. I seen a Pan a while back sitting in a corner of a guys garage. He is " going to get to it some day" was the story I got. Neighbors said he's had it for decades under that tarp. It's a shme to see them in that shap. Good luck on yours.

That is the first thing on the list.It is not set up very good either it is a pretty heavy front end and is a handfull at slow speeds.I think it sits a little high in the front for me also so that will all get worked out eventually.It has a 21 in front wheel with a speedmaster on it now so I cold probably drop it to 18 or 19 and it be a little happier.

Thanks for the kind words from all of you.
