I bought this bike off of an Ebay auction for a total of $65.00 from an Ebay shop in Chesterton, Indiana. My sister happened to live nearby and timing for a visit from her was perfect -so I saved on the shipping Ebay shipping cost.
I repacked the bearings, took off a few parts, added a few parts, cleaned a few parts, and the bike is a great ride. The bike’s original paint has a few “Wear and Tear” marks, but those just add a “rode hard” distinguished look.
Thank You,
Bricknd
