"It's got red eyes! It must be a monster!" Nathan a five year old thirty five years ago. Still holds true today. I'm wondering what that thing would do to a bunch of moles in the back yard.. Smiles, MH

geez, early 70s, we'd get bikes like that from the thrift store for like $20 or $30, haul them up Mt Tam, and if we were lucky, get a few downhill runs before we'd wreck them. cheap thrills! I did hate those New Departure inch-pinch coaster brakes, they'd get so hot they'd smoke, then seize up.

As if a death fork wasn't enough to worry about. This viscount is for those who want live on the edge 😬

But wow, the more I look at this the worse it gets. There is a front derailleur mounted on the bottom bracket/stem combo. If that chain drops you're likely to lose at least a few teeth!

I guess this is a disturbing new trend on Craigslist, and I did flag the ad. But what a cutie!
