tell me about my latest buy






I like me the vintage, i like the character involved however i don't know anything about this one. there is a little tab coming off the head set that says:
Pearson
Worchester, Massachusettes.

I must say that chain ring caught my attention my fiance liked it at first glance so now i guess it's hers.

any ideas? i'm thinking since i paid 40$ for it form craigslist i didn't get too badly taken.

any ideas?

A bit on the pricey side considering the missing rear fender and overall condition. Not a terrible deal either though, and a nice looking middleweight - one that you can customize without having to worry too much about ruining originality.

Bikes: have about 30 bikes right now

The chain ring is just like one I saw on a jet pilot. I got out bid by a guy who wanted it because his girlfriend liked the stars. $100 . the one I lost had 3 saber jets on the chain guard. The stars are cool.
