Finally replaced stolen Continental.

With this roach. Bought at night under the influence of bike lust. For $20.00 I can't complain. I can sell the seat for more than that. Poor Conti was owned by a high school kid and then left to rot in the yard for a year or so. I removed the taped on Barbie for the pics. The rims aren't stock and the spokes are rusted to the point of scary. Outside of that and the paint job, it's not that bad. Going to find a set of original brake levers. Bikes like this need turkey wings. I plan for it to be my grab-n-go bike.

Should it be Lemon Yellow like my Varsity or Burnt Orange like my Continental? The original color is Magenta.

My original Continental was stolen 34 years ago in high school. I had to ride a beater black women's Raleigh 3 speed for the remainder of school. That experience hardened me into the bitter man I am today.
