I finally decided to pass because it had too much wrong equipment on it; saddle, levers, shifter, pedals. That, and the sheet metal was all dinged up.Oh -- by the way, it's a 1971 S-22 Sports.
Yep... Thats where I got it. I had a $20 off coupon for a purchase over $40. I wasn't going to pay full price for it because of the condition but I thought $20 was worth the risk. Thanks for the date info. I haven't had the chance to investigate anything on it yet. I've got a Brooks B-72 saddle I was thinking about using it on but I think I'll save it for something else since it is a little rough. I was passing thru on my way back from Modesto and stopped to get gas down the street and just stopped by the place. Hardley ever see anything there and its always way overpriced but thats the place to go for kids bikes.
