tell me about my latest buy
I like me the vintage, i like the character involved however i don't know anything about this one. there is a little tab coming off the head set that says:
Pearson
Worchester, Massachusettes.
I must say that chain ring caught my attention my fiance liked it at first glance so now i guess it's hers.
any ideas? i'm thinking since i paid 40$ for it form craigslist i didn't get too badly taken.
any ideas?

A bit on the pricey side considering the missing rear fender and overall condition. Not a terrible deal either though, and a nice looking middleweight - one that you can customize without having to worry too much about ruining originality.

i like the way this bike looked and it was small enough to fit my girlfriend so i picked it up i'm just wondering about the history more then anything else.

The chain ring is just like one I saw on a jet pilot. I got out bid by a guy who wanted it because his girlfriend liked the stars. $100 . the one I lost had 3 saber jets on the chain guard. The stars are cool.
