1968 C250, cool thing about this version Rupp is since the fenders and tank were painted from the factory, there is not alot of chrome to contend with, and whats currently there for chrome is actually really nice. Repro seats are also inexpensive for this model and in stock at blackwidow.

Overall not bad to work with, thin repaint with no primer or fillers to contend with. that candy paint is transparent so you can actually see through a bit to know whats there. Everything is overall straight and solid. couple of light chainrash scratches on the inside, 2 holes drilled on the back of the top rail behind seat, and thats about it. Not rusted or pitted.

wheels are in really nice shape, chrome only has a couple of spots, rear is missing one stud and acorn. Tires are originals have some age cracks but werent sitting flat and show decent have great tread still. Al inner spacers P stamped axles, bellville washers, chrome outer spacers there and original Rupp correct. Sprocket is still usable for light use but I would probably go for another.

Has the Foot actuated brake lever assy on it :thumbsup: It is in working order, disc caliper is operational as well but shows some wear and is ready for new pucks.

Tank is clean inside and out, it is original to the bike-1968 correct so has the big plate and studs for mount points on ding on right side top, see photos Fenders are clean and re workable, the front mount straps are not right-I just threw them on so the fender was safe from being damaged or lost. (blackwidow does have the straps)

chainguard and original mount bracket included as well as kickstand too. This is the original seat that was a sloppy recover, the original wood base is wore out and the mount T nuts are not good, It is soft and re workable cover though and could be fixed and look much better if your on a really tight budget.

$800 shipped, price is firm
