Year of the Orange
Make JCPenney
Model 10 speed Racer

A little bit about it: This bike makes me wish I was 5 feet tall again. 24″ wheels and 50cm frame make this a 12 year old (who appreciates 10 speed glory) ‘s ideal ride. Thunderbird front and Eagle rear make this baby fly. I ran across it while at the Local BS getting some parts for a different bike. Just next door at the pawn shop was this Orange Dreamsicle and I snapped it up. I would like to say I spent weeks getting it ready for it’s Old 10 debut, but all I did was push it home as I rode my own. Enjoy the orange pie!

All the best,

Kris

Thanks Kris

Just found one of these – perhaps a slighlty older version in — Anchorage, Alaska!

All stock except for some added bar tape, and, in fairly good cond. – must have been inside alot.

  Do you still have this bike? Does anyone still have this bike? I had the same one! I would love to buy it from anyone who has it! I loved that bike! Popular color today!

    I have it, but it’s not in great shape. It definitely rides, the brakes and gears work, but the paint is faded, and the seat and pedals have been replaced.

      Brian! Can you email me a photo of the bike as it is no? I would to buy it from you! Would you be willing to seek it to me! I can find a yellow seat and a yellow orange handle bar tape and I can have a welder remove the straight bar and put it diagonally across to make it like my girls bike when I was in high school!. It’s so sentimental! Someone stole my bike. I had to by a shwinn instead.

        I took a few pictures of it today and I’ve looked into shipping it. FedEx offers a special bike shipping box which might work, but I’m sure they can’t tell me more about cost until they know where I’m sending it. Please contact me at linkredxiii@aol.com and we’ll go from there.

I had the same bike when I was a kid circa 1977. Broke the frame jumping ramps and JcPenney replaced the bike because it had a 10 year frame warranty.
