Call me Mel. Some years ago- never mind how long precisely- having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me at home, I thought I would ride about a little and see the other parts of the world.

I'm hot for this one--note the left side shifter conversion:

The Jewel of the Swap Meet:
My google search says it's a Model O, a 257cc inline opposed twin. When complete, it would look like this:
The engine clamps to doubled bottom tubes from above and the trans to those same tubes from below. I've got the hot sweaties for this one. It might be fun to just build a frame for it using random vintage lightweight MC bits or even modern mountain bike bits. As the seller wanted $5K ("It turns over!") for just the bits you see here it's all academic for me. He still had it at the end of the day that I saw.
