Hey, it’s been a while. I’m back in action. I bought and sold many a bike since I was on here last.
Picked up an Arco bushwhacker for very cheap. Didn’t know what it was when I bought it, but the price was right.
It appears to be all there. obviously some modifications were made over the years.
what do you guys suggest? Should I tear this thing down and do a full rebuild?
Where would I source the wheel bearings? These are the original wheels looks like. Also looks like PO welded the pegs… i’m stuck on the corner of making this thing a ripper, or going the old-school route. I miss my Ruttman.
