Oddball alert !!!!!

1978-ish AMF "Black Gold" bike !
Yes, it is painted Black, and............... Gold !!!! ( How did you know ********** )

The bike is "garage sale" fodder... but that shifter..... oooooo! what a dream come true !

It shifts like a motorcycle. 10 Speed Shimano Shifter, sorta like a Stingray 5speed.

Push it up, and let go. CLICK. you went up one gear.
Pull it down, let go. CLICK. You went down one gear.
Every shift moves the front deraileur, the back moves every other shift.
the front rings are... 52/48, I think.
Positron Deraileurs.

I have asked, and searched, but I can not find another one to compare it to. The Old Guy at the LBS remembers them, that's as close as I got.

The original tires are still on the bike, and they hold air just long enought to show that the shifter "works as advertised".
The bike is heavy, the chrome is getting rough, but it's all about the shifter.

WANT:
I don't need more bike parts, I want other stuff... use your imagination. Especially if you have something really fast, dangerous, or really loud. "project" motorcycles are always welcome !

Just [PM me for details].
