It's probably worth the grand ask if you want one of these.

Those of you who were around at the time of the Islamic Revolution in Iran will probably recall this salute to its leader from the bike industry. This Ayatollah Khomeni seat includes a whole Raleigh Record for $100. Surprisingly, if you Google him and search Images this one does not appear.

And no link? Actually I think that's kinda cool, at least if it's made up of all Firenzes or other BSOs. (Hmm, why does such an operation require only Park tools? Asking for a friend.)

I think that was during his Detroit WRIF (or was it ABX?) days, the DDK, etc. Before he moved to Chicago and blew up all those disco records at Comiskey (or was it Wrigley?). Many dead brain cells ago....

Said to say I was at my LBS when a few folks came in wanting to replace some tires and do a few other things to get their rides ready for the next event .They didn't know how to adjust the saddle on their rides as well as how to change their tires.....but they were excited to be ready for the next Burning Man.
Maybe setting up a repair station would be a good idea.
Best, Ben

Hey, it looks wacky to me.
https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/b...642635952.html
I realize if the brake cables (or just the right one) were a little higher, it would be more thread appropriate.

I dunno man, clean bike with good frame and components for a decent price? I'd say "eclectic" at best, but not wacky
