That's about the cost these days just to rechrome a Chopper!...tt levers in the end of the ape hangers...disc mounts... grind the chain wheel down to take a 12 speed chain. Might have to modify the chain guard.
I'm not warranty-ing the original fork against disc braking forces though
I think the group is around £3k
New fork £150
Full bike setup £150
Couple of brazing jobs £100
So £4000 est.

That is insane! Can't even imagine the price tag on something like thatUn-restored!! 1971 Sears Screamer. From nostalgicnet. Worth a visit if you like late 1960s and early1970s muscle bikes. Turns out @MattiThundrrr has thoroughly perverted me

They call em muscle bikes because they were supposed to be what a kid thought of what Detroit was putting out back then...WTF
Our Raleigh efforts are tame compared to this era of American muscle bikes. I should imagine you'd be made up if this was bought for you.

The thing to do, if you are upset about unrideable bikes, is to make a 26 version, like them rat boys do so well

I may have said before
not a huge fan of that style of bike but next time I get a frame painted it's 100% going to be that colour.
