Finding the correct seat on eBay in like new condition was amazing! It was the one and only Kofu Wind bicycle part I have ever found on eBay or anywhere else. Also finding 26 inch red tires with white sidewalls was a bit of a challenge.......Don Weston

I have not seen them yet but when you get to 10 posts on the forum you can post them here and everyone can see them easily. I am excited to see them and I am sure you will find some helpful and fun folks to chat with in the Classic and Vintage subforum as well as many of our other sub-forums.
