With my sick velo warped mind, I have envisioned...A black chrome High Sierra, with gold anodized
components. I think it would look very nice
If the pedals I got with the bike were stock- it came with either black pedals that faded to gold/bronze or gold/bronze pedal cages...

If yours was a 17- 17.5"... I'd be all over it like stink on rice.

You should post pictures of that perrty thing.


If you know anyone that has a 17 or 17.5" they want to trade for an 18" in Black Chrome...

Or an 87 Cimarron...

The whole lugging thing is weird- the "early" ones were- and then they went to welding then back to lugs, then back to welding...

bah, they're up for the photo to get some air to the forehead before riding, that area of the head gets mighty hot. We pop em down on our noggins as we head on down the driveway. BTW, Those helmets have since been retired, they were yardsale finds, I did not know until shortly after this photo that the styrafoam gets brittle with age.
