Since you're a Newbie and English is probably not your first language, I'll cut you some slack...

As you mentioned, your bikes is made by Giant in the 1980s. Chuckk posted a link above.

Here's a suggestion for future posts. Without pictures of the right side of a bike showing the drive train (cranks, derailleurs, etc.) it's difficult to tell much about it except that it has a frame and 2 wheels!

I have no idea why people post pictures of the left side of their bikes???

1. Is it fear of mysterious mechanical things?

2. Is it because the mysterious mechanical things are greasy and dirty?

3. Is it because the mysterious mechanical things are obscene and immodest?

4. Is it because most people get on their bikes from the left side?


1, 2, and 3 were probably engendered by youthful exposure to clean, colorful, wholesome, plastic Big Wheels!!!



Now when I was young, we had REAL metal toys to ride:




To help with reason # 3, here's some products that I'm marketing for the sake of modesty.

I got the idea from Modesty Skirts for dogs:


For casual use, a bike modesty skirt:


For extreme modesty, the bike Burqa:


Please post some picture of the obscene side....

END OF RANT!
