Tempest Pro Race... anyone heard of it?
I came across this bike for cheap. It seems to have butted frames. Google didn't find anything about it. Hoping you vintage bike experts can provide some insights. It is a road bike.
thx.
thx.

Pictures?
99% + of the time, the brands that don't get hits on google are private label department store bikes. There were so many brands during the bike boom, and they were almost all low end, so no one has taken the time to host/post vintage information on them.
Having grown up during the bike boom, I can remember getting some off brand bike at a lawn mower repair shop. And I had to sign up for a waiting list to buy my second bike (a Schwinn Continental).
