ooooh, I've got a 67. no dents either.
though that's due to the fact that the dents rusted and are now giant holes.

Sounds like my Blazer. The guy at the gas station offered to buy it one night, but I came in the next time during the day and he changed his mind. sigh.

No. This thing is rust and dent free with matching engine and frame serial numbers. It lives a shallow existance in my garage, while my walwos endure the elements. Someday I will have the necesessary cash. Original everything. Dash has no cracks. In the summer when the door is open, I have periodic doorbell ringing offers.

Hmmm... I wonder why there is a 'STINKY' can in the bottle cage, and why the bottle cage bosses are so high up the seat tube...

As long as the terrain you are riding on is perfect 90 degree triangles...

Actually you'd be looking for a street full of inverted catenaries.

Hmmm, sign me up. The next segway right here folks.

And all that for a ride that is geometrically equivalent to riding a round wheel on a flat surface. Hmmm..

[EDIT: I need my fix! I'm a fixie and SS junkie, and I don't even own a fixie (yet)]
