I mean, you cannot make this stuff up - life is sure strange sometimes. It was in the same condition it was in when I sold it back in about 1980 and then stepped up to a better bike. I took this one home, cleaned off the 1/4inch of dust from it and was amazed that it didn't look any the worse for wear than when I sold it. I took it to my favorite bike shop for a "go-through" by their good mechanic and to get some new tires and tubes so I can ride it again new spring just for old times sake. I have no idea who had it all those years but whoever did sure didn't ride it nor let it be exposed to the weather. Amazing!! 8-)
