A mid seventies Sprite in pretty good condition. It even has a mini Speedo on it. The mileage on the speedo you ask? 6460 miles, or maybe Kilometers. The owner had brought it with him when he moved to America from Pakistan, or so they said. He must have used it for daily transportation? It also has the very cool flip flop hub. The ladies I found a couple of months ago doesn't have one.,,,,BD


The lady also told me that several people had stopped before me, but wouldn't pay the $20 for it. Cheapskates, lol.




The best part? I now have a matching set!


man don't you love that?! the damned pletscher rack is worth 20 bucks. nice catch.
