Early 80's. Probably around 1982 like the one in the link below. It's a Trail Rider. Unique and very cool.

Thanks, I appreciate the link. I worked at a bike shop several years ago between jobs and an older woman bought this in wanting to get it fixed. She didn't want to spend more than $20. The estimate was $100. I offered her $25 for the bike and she accepted. The fork was damaged so it's been replaced with a BMX type fork we had laying around the shop. It makes you appreciate how far they've come in off road bikes.

I like it, it looks like a Raleigh "Bear Footing" cruiser I have with the center tube & seat stays added. I am going to start work on this soon and am unsure about keeping it or not.
