I'd buy that for $1.
I was at an auction yesterday, this got left behind, for $1 I figured it'll make some kid a nice bike. The seat says GT Super Sport, Made in Japan, I'm leaning towards it not being original to the bike. Nothing on the bike itself that I could see, I've always liked this frame style though.

You know how memories kind of change in your mind, and you can totally "remember" things that didn't happen?
I COMPLETELY remember that "I'd buy that for a dollar" as an ad catchphrase as a kid in the 70s. Along with "I can't believe I ate the whole thing" and "Ancient Chinese Secret huh?"
And then, while looking for it- realizing it's from from Robocop in the mid 80s, and not a commercial... Wow.

Either a commercial or a TV show.
Another movie I have to watch again!

"Ancient Chinese secret, huh?" is from Wayne's World - or at least, that's where I know it from
