I'm hoping it's older. He said he doesn't know the exact year, so I may get lucky. He's got some other bikes for sale too, and their prices are very reasonable. If it's just the 3 speed I'll probably pass, but if it's American Indian I'll grab it. I know lots of car restoration people, so getting bikes repainted/rechromed is extremely easy and inexpensive. I don't even have to get decals as I know one guy that will airbrush logos on for me.
