Serial #: 020981
Color: Yellow
Condition: Cond 5
Description: I picked this bike up at a garage sale for $60. It has some chipped paint, a slightly bent sub-frame, bent handle-bars, bent sissy-bar and some chain-ring dents. The seat is very nice with just one little spot of discoloration. There is also some chrome pitting on the front fender. It is missing the rear reflector and has one non-original pedal. I plan to have the frame powder coated (yellow of course) as soon as I source some replacement stickers. (Note: This bike sold in 2002)

Description: I picked this one up when I sold the yellow one (for the same money I got for the yellow one -- yay!). It had been ridden around the block once. It did get a nasty scratch on the seat tube in shipping and has a few very minor blems from storage over the years. It has been decor in my daughters room as of late. Very trendy. More pics here!

Serial #: 018020
Color: Yellow
Condition: Cond 5
Description: This one fully functions, but has seen some hard miles. Unknown how many of the parts on this one are original. Has blue sparkle seat. I am entertaining trading this for multi-speed Stingray. Bob, I included the serial # this time. Also- I see now that my bike does have the 16" front rim. I am missing the front and rear fenders and the handbrake. The fork would not allow a 20" rim on front. I guess its been a long time since I looked at this bike???!!! I also do not have the ring-style chainguard. Any leads on those parts?

Serial #: 001570
Color: Yellow
Condition: Cond 6
Description: It's yellow, the sitcker on the top bar is well worn. Everything is stock except the pedles ( I have the orgionals still), tires and the front reflector. The chain guard is slightly dented in one spot. I don't know if the 70's stlye BMX handle grips are stock or not. Over all its in pretty good shape. I was wondering if they came with a slick on the rear? Also I was wondering if anyone was reproducing the stickers for them. If so, then I would like to buy some and fix it up to look new. This is really cool! I am glad to see that there are others who like these bikes as much as I do!
