I have collected bikes as a youth and this is the last of my collection. It is very rare because of the 26'' tires and frame that are stock for this year bike. They also made a majority of thin tire frames, it was new back then and everyone wanted the thin tires, but now the balloon tires are much more collectible.  It needs restoration but is in working condition, on a scale of one to ten it's probably an 9 for bikes to be restored all original and you can see all the old markings. I have only seen a couple of these bikes, and I would like to sell it to someone who will restore it. Place a Bid!
