By problem I assume you mean not enough shed space (just kidding of course). It is surprising how these old sleds get in your bloodstream though. Most vintage guys I talk to have a bunch. Speaking of which, a really nice guy actually stopped and got out of his big Ford diesel at Princeton to help me drag a Cyclone chassis onto the truck – yes, the load included more than the Chap. Turns out he was another vintage-head and had not one, but two 72 TNT’S with slide rails. Sorry, he wasn’t selling but I had to rub it in a little.
Interesting comment on the handlebars – this seemed pretty common back in the day. Low seat, high handlebars but when I look at this photo of my wife riding her original SS it all seems to fit. We did spend a lot of time riding on one knee though and the high bars were an asset. Kind of like an early version of the mountain sled handlebar concept I guess.
