Dave M.’s 1979 Murray Spectra Spectacular!

Dave M.—Murray Mogul, Huffy Hoffa, Panther Purveyor, and well respected contributor to the OTSG—brought us all what we come here to see: Psychedelic Murrays with zip-tie cable clamps! But seriously, this is one funky leadsled I would be proud to call my own. Every time I look at it I get this strange urge to scream ZOIKS and start running down a repeating hallway with my faithful and equally terrified talking Great Dane!

Dave, did you get a new camera!? Looking good.

Submitting this on March 10. Seems we’re getting a little highbrow with Cannondale, Trek and Motobecane. Not that there is anything wrong with these fine bikes, but I thought it was time for a crappy old Murray.Rescued this school bus yellow beauty just minutes ahead of the garbage truck. Pumped some air into the tires, replaced a few broken bits and shined up those awesome psychedelic graphics. Now I guess I have to ride it. Keepin’ it Crappy Dave M

The crimped dropouts, the rolled sheet metal stem, awesome graphics, weird reflector and ashtabula cranks; this thing screams Quality.

Seriously though, you have to give it up to Murray. They were able to make an entire bike out of rolls of sheetmetal. Thats a triumph in itself.

I would ride that even if it was 50lbs.Looks like it’s about to attack something with those upright bars.

I rode this for a while, then donated it to a local charity. It was shipped south, and is now roaming the hills of Kentucky.
