Do like these late 70s builds, but so hard to find parts.

Really like the look of the rear tyre, looks great.

Ooooh, I like that.
I particularly like the stem [never heard of or seen these before] & the most inovative, thinking-outside-the-box, seat clamp. If nobody makes a stylish seat clamp that you like, then make one yourself & this is the great result.

I'll be checking out junk late '70's, early '80's small motorcycles myself from now on as I have more than a few early BMX's yet to restore.
