OTSG,

Here’s my old 10 speed from 1968. It was my first and I’ve had it for now
40 years. It has more miles on it than most cars. I’m currently restoring
in time for the OLYMPIAD 40 year anniversary. The photo is current as is
condition. Thanks for being there for Old Road Dogs like me with nostalgic values.

Thanks Chris

    That is one of a kind! And bought in Brea, no less – I spend a lot of time next door in Fullerton, bet this baby goes up and down Bastanchury with ease. 🙂

    Chris: I also have a 1968 American Eagle that I bought in San Diego. Rode mine all over Europe and on an arduous trip from Anchorage Alaska to Madison Wisconsin. Still have the bike in the basement. Enjoy your reconditioning experience!
