That is definitely a keeper!

Love that bike man
Thanks. I did buy the screw in fork pegs as those were missing. I should try to get the matching araya rear rim. I'm kind of anal and like to put things back they way they were. No I don't plan on screwing with it. I even have the owners manual..ha ha. I was surprised at how well the brakes works as well as the gyro....

The best advise was from the guy at the bike shop that talked me out of restoring it and just make it mechanically sound and let my kid enjoy it. I had to pull out a few tricks on it and my kids said "Dad please stop your going to kill yourself" They have no idea what we used to do with our bikes...

Thanks
Marc
