You ALSO realize that the bike used was an AMF Roadmaster, not a too-terribly-uncommon bike at the thrift shops. Look around, and you'll probably find one EXACTLY like the Cutter bike without any modifications...except perhaps the addition of some duct-tape to the pedals.

I know it's possible, since I found one myself back around 1990. Didn't buy it, though. Once you actually SEE one, you probably won't WANT one, either.
